Your VAT returns, filed on time, every month
Filing of your CA3 returns, calculation of your deduction rights, EMEBI reporting and import VAT self-assessment.
Once registered, your company must file VAT returns on a monthly or quarterly basis, using the CA3 form. This filing involves calculating output VAT and deduction rights, as well as managing VAT credits when they arise.
Depending on your activity, these returns come with additional obligations: EMEBI (statistical survey of intra-EU trade in goods), EORI registration for customs operations, and import VAT self-assessment (ATVAI) when goods enter French territory from a non-EU country.
Are you affected?
- Company already registered for French VAT
- Regular flows of purchases or sales subject to VAT in France
- Imports or exports of goods to or from the European Union
- Operations requiring VAT credit monitoring

Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between CA3 and CA12?
CA3 applies to companies under the standard VAT regime, filed monthly or quarterly. CA12 applies to the simplified regime, filed once a year. The applicable regime depends on your turnover and tax elections.
Should my return be monthly or quarterly?
The frequency depends on the amount of VAT due by your company and your tax regime. We determine the applicable frequency during the initial review.
What happens if a return is filed late?
A late filing can lead to penalties and late-payment interest. Our ongoing filing monitoring is designed precisely to prevent this.
