- The French tax bulletin (BOFIP) explains VAT rules for composite offers involving multiple goods and services.
- It determines whether bundled elements should be taxed separately or treated as one transaction.
- The key question is whether the elements are independent main supplies or whether some are merely ancillary to a principal supply.
- If treated as a single transaction, VAT is assessed globally to determine the type of supply and whether exemptions or reduced rates apply instead of the standard rate.
