In France, taxes are administered by the Direction générale des Finances publiques (DGFiP) through the impots.gouv.fr portal. Businesses register (linked to company formation), obtain a SIREN/SIRET and VAT number, and file and pay their taxes (corporate tax, VAT, payroll-related levies) electronically by the applicable deadlines.
- Business tax registration is linked to company formation; you receive a SIREN/SIRET and a VAT number.
- File and pay corporate tax, VAT and related levies electronically via impots.gouv.fr.
- Meet the statutory deadlines; late or incorrect filing attracts penalties and interest.
