Tweaking French VAT rules

Written by Stuart Bourne

For our third update just this week (don’t forget to check out the new release of the huge JV contracts feature!), we’ve modified a specific rule for French VAT.

To keep in line with France’s decision to apply the reduced rate of 5.5% on sales of ebooks, instead of going along with the EU’s standard rate of 20%, we’ve updated the system today to reflect this and now, ebooks sold in France will now be allocated the 5.5% rate in line with France’s decision.

Stay tuned for more news and updates that are on the way before Christmas!
