- The Paris Administrative Court ruled that the justification of goods leaving French territory is crucial for VAT exemption on exports. Following a tax audit, the French tax authorities challenged a company’s VAT exemption due to lack of access to its accounting records and supporting documents. The court sided with the authorities, stating that export declarations not endorsed by customs, without additional evidence, do not prove the reality of exports and the exit of goods from France. This highlights the importance of having proper documentation for VAT compliance.
