Your French VAT return will be adapted to facilitate the new changes.
- The amount previously reported to the customs authorities will show pre-filled on your VAT return by the 14th day of the month
- The customs authorities will open up a service for you to check the details of the pre-filled import VAT amount appearing on your VAT return
- The deadline for submitting VAT returns in France for importers is extended to the 24th day of the month following the reporting period
The pre-filed amount of import VAT is still the tax payers responsibility to check accuracy and can be modified if necessary. The business will also need to obtain the relevant import documents before validating.
