Exemption from intra-EU VAT for European Union countries

Orders placed on PICTO Online from a European Union country may be exempt from French value-added tax (VAT). In that case, both the payment and the invoice issued are exempt from VAT.

"Intra-EU VAT" is used to identify a company located within the European Union and exempt it from French tax.

Order placed from the EU and delivered within the European Union

To benefit from the intra-EU VAT exemption, the billing address on your PICTO Online account must be in 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).

In this case, it is an export VAT exemption.

To be exempt from intra-EU VAT, you must enter your intra-EU VAT number when registering or from your customer account, along with the following information.

Your company name

Your company name must be provided. This information is not verified.

Your intra-EU VAT number

This is an individual identification number assigned to companies subject to VAT and based within the European Union.

Depending on the country listed in the billing address, the intra-EU VAT number consists of: the country code, a 2-digit check key, and the company's identification number, which varies by country.

The intra-EU VAT number helps ensure the security of transactions between VAT-registered entities within the European Union.

This number is mandatory for European VAT tax administration and must appear on companies' invoices.

This information is verified.

Identification number

This refers to any additional information that also identifies you as a professional in your country, if that country is located outside the European Union.

This information is not mandatory.

Providing the required information

Registration

On the registration form for professionals, or if you check the "I am a professional" box on the form for students or associations, provide your company name, your SIREN number, SIRET number, and intra-EU VAT number, or an identification number if applicable if you are located outside the European Union.
