Can I buy just the French VAT registration, without a filing plan?

Yes. Registration only in France is €599 one-time, charged in full at signup. We prepare your registration dossier, file it with the French tax office for foreign businesses (SIEE) and answer the tax office's follow-up questions until your French VAT number is issued, usually one to three months after filing. Our mandate ends when the number is issued and we then revoke our authorisation (mandat); French VAT returns (CA3) are not included, and filing them is your responsibility unless you add the French filing plan (Standard €139/month or €1,499/year, with no further registration fee). For comparison, €599 plus the €1,499 yearly filing plan comes to €2,098 in year one, against €1,699 for the Standard all-in. You can also combine it with a German plan in one order, for example German filings plus a French registration.
