France FAQs
What is the TVA rate in France?
France charges 20% TVA (Taxe sur la Valeur Ajoutee) on most goods and services. France has four rates: 20% standard, 10% intermediate (restaurants, hotels), 5.5% reduced (food, books), and 2.1% super-reduced (prescribed medicines, press).
What is the TVA on restaurant meals in France?
Restaurant meals eaten on premises are taxed at 10% TVA (intermediate rate). Takeaway food is 5.5%. Alcoholic drinks in restaurants are always 20%. This distinction matters for bistros and cafes that serve both eat-in and takeout.
How do I remove TVA from a French price?
Divide by 1.20 for standard rate. EUR 240 TTC (toutes taxes comprises): HT (hors taxes) = 240 / 1.20 = EUR 200, TVA = EUR 40. For 10%: divide by 1.10. For 5.5%: divide by 1.055.
What does TTC and HT mean on French invoices?
TTC (Toutes Taxes Comprises) means all taxes included, the final price. HT (Hors Taxes) means excluding tax, the pre-TVA amount. French B2B invoices typically show both HT and TTC amounts with TVA itemized separately.
Can tourists get a TVA refund in France?
Yes. Non-EU residents spending over EUR 100 at a single store can claim a TVA refund (up to 12% back on the 20% rate after processing fees). Use the Pablo electronic system at airports. The detaxe form must be validated at customs before check-in.
