- France will end the simplified tax representation regime for non-EU businesses on December 31, 2025. From January 1, 2026, non-EU companies must register for a French VAT number in their own name for imports under Customs Procedure 42. Failure to comply may result in blocked goods, loss of VAT exemption, and financial penalties. Affected businesses should identify relevant imports, apply for French VAT registration, update documentation, and inform relevant teams before the deadline. Early preparation is essential to avoid operational disruptions.
