EU VAT exemption for European Union countries
Orders placed on PICTO Online from a European Union country may be exempt from French value-added tax (VAT). Payment and the issued invoice are then VAT-exempt.
The “EU VAT” allows identification of a business located in the European Union and exempts it from French tax.
Order placed from the EU and delivered within the European Union
To benefit from EU VAT exemption, the billing address on your PICTO Online account must be from a European Union country.
Order placed from the EU but delivered outside the European Union
Orders placed from a European Union country but delivered outside the European Union are also exempt from value-added tax (VAT).
This is considered a VAT exemption for export.
To be exempt from EU VAT, you must provide your EU VAT number during registration or from your customer area with the following information.
Your company name
Your company name must be provided. This information is not verified.
Your EU VAT number
This is an individual identification number assigned to companies subject to VAT and based in the European Union.
Depending on the country indicated in the billing address, the EU VAT number consists of: the country code, a 2-digit computer key, and the company’s identification number depending on the country.
The EU VAT number ensures the security of transactions between taxpayers within the European Union. This number is mandatory for EU VAT tax management and must appear on company invoices.
This information is verified.
