In 1954, France introduced the Value Added Tax, commonly referred to as Taxe sur la Valeur Ajoutée (TVA). By 1968, this tax system was extended to cover the whole economy, marking the generalization of VAT. France led the way in introducing VAT along with Germany and several other EU nations adopting it soon after.
The rules and guidelines related to VAT compliance in France, including registrations, returns, Intrastat, DEB, ESLs, and other elements, are dictated by EU VAT Directives.
