France and Portugal: VAT (TVA, IVA)
Applies to businesses whose country is France or Portugal.
What is set up for you
Section titled “What is set up for you”| Country | Currency | Tax name | Default rate | Pricing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| France | EUR (€) | TVA | 20% | tax-inclusive |
| Portugal | EUR (€) | IVA | 23% | tax-inclusive |
- Turn tax-inclusive pricing off under Settings → Tax Settings if you quote net prices to businesses.
- Your VAT number — the numéro de TVA intracommunautaire in France, the NIF in Portugal — goes in Settings → Business Profile → Tax ID and prints on every invoice.
Rates to add
Section titled “Rates to add”The reduced rates are seeded with the business, so each line can carry the right one:
- France: TVA 10%, TVA 5,5%, TVA 2,1% and Exonéré (exempt).
- Portugal: IVA 13%, IVA 6% and Isento (exempt). Madeira and the Azores apply lower rates — add them under Settings → Tax Settings if you trade there.
Reverse charge
Section titled “Reverse charge”Use Reverse charge on intra-EU purchases of goods and services and on imported services you self-assess. The tax appears on both sides of the report, so the return shows it while your net position is unchanged.
VAT return
Section titled “VAT return”Reports → Tax Report gives output VAT, input VAT and the net amount for the period — the figures for the CA3 return in France and for the periodic IVA declaration in Portugal. See Tax report and tax summary.
