This entails checking the existing documentation in particular. The material analysis of financial details is less intensive in France than in Germany. This means that reliable documentation is essential in the field of transfer pricing between the parent companies in Germany, Austria and Switzerland and their French subsidiaries, and that all contractual agreements must be set out in detail in writing.<\/li>\n<li>in the case of a potential permanent establishment (<em>\u00e9tablissement stable<\/em>) in France, the particular circumstances must be organised and the documentation drawn up in such a way as to avoid a permanent establishment if necessary? This may entail drawing up employment contracts with French employees or agency contracts with commercial agents working in France, or setting up a warehouse in France or carrying out construction work on a building site in France.<\/li>\n<li>the cost plus method of allocating profits to the French subsidiary is only of limited application?<\/li>\n<li>the goodwill (<em>fonds de commerce<\/em>) of a company subject to corporation tax in France cannot be amortised?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-k70bjanb-d9b2b841267d3e9df05e9dcc20db5d04\">\n.flex_column.av-k70bjanb-d9b2b841267d3e9df05e9dcc20db5d04{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-k70bjanb-d9b2b841267d3e9df05e9dcc20db5d04 av_one_half  avia-builder-el-26  el_after_av_one_half  el_before_av_hr  flex_column_div  column-top-margin'     ><style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-jgfdunv8-7-e5f51f78556ed41e0a667809c10267c3\">\n#top .av_textblock_section.av-jgfdunv8-7-e5f51f78556ed41e0a667809c10267c3 .avia_textblock{\ncolor:#79808b;\n}\n<\/style>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-jgfdunv8-7-e5f51f78556ed41e0a667809c10267c3 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock wusstensie_right av_inherit_color'  itemprop=\"text\" ><ul>\n<li>the tax authorities offer taxpayers the possibility of avoiding the risk of their pricing policy being questioned at international level between associated companies (transfer pricing)? To safeguard your transfer pricing policy, you also have the option of obtaining prior binding information from the French tax administration to establish your transfer prices. This procedure is free and fast and all information is treated confidentially.<\/li>\n<li>in principle, dividends distributed by a French company to a parent company in another EU country are exempt from withholding tax provided that certain conditions are met (in particular as regards the duration and amount of the participation)?<\/li>\n<li>if there is a tax audit, the accounting documents must be presented by submitting a copy of your accounting file (<em>Fichier des ecritures comptables<\/em> - FEC) in dematerialised form? Your accounting records must therefore be kept in accordance with the French accounting rules (<em>Plan comptable g\u00e9n\u00e9ral<\/em>) in French.<\/li>\n<li>the VAT rules on distance selling (<em>Vente \u00e0 distance<\/em>) also apply to post-sale deliveries from a German or Austrian company subject to VAT to a private individual in France? These transactions are subject to VAT in France when the threshold of \u20ac35,000 is met for deliveries from the German or Austrian company to French customers. Consequently, the German or Austrian company must immediately identify itself for VAT purposes in France, invoice the French VAT and submit VAT returns in France. These e-commerce operations are subject to very strict controls by the French tax authorities.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\"
