Do I need to set up a direct debit for France? What are the requirements?

Setting up a Direct Debit is a legal requirement you must fulfil for a French VAT number.

Direct debits are how the French tax authority ensures that all VAT payments are processed efficiently and securely. It helps businesses avoid unnecessary penalties.  

We will need your B2B SEPA (Single Euro Payments Area) bank account details (under your company name) to set up the Direct Debit.
