Example

Example: a British illustrator in Bordeaux invoices a French publisher, no VAT

Olivia Bennett (fictitious) works from Bordeaux as an auto-entrepreneur in the VAT franchise. She invoices a French publisher for the drawings of a children’s book, so she sets Language of the document to Français (French); the currency stays at Euro, as this page sets it.

  1. Your business: her name, address and email; SIRET 123 456 789 00012. It is printed as “SIRET”, not as a VAT number, since there is none under the franchise.
  2. Number 2026-014, date 31 March 2026, due date 30 April 2026; the customer: Éditions Exemple and its address.
  3. Three lines, below. Out of habit she typed 20 as the tax on the first one: on this page no line is charged VAT, whatever is typed.
  4. Payment details: her IBAN, for a bank transfer.

With English chosen instead, the same invoice reads €2,710.00 and the mention is translated, “VAT not applicable, article 293 B of the French General Tax Code”, with the French words kept in brackets.

  2. Add the items; no VAT is charged.
  3. Add the payment terms and bank details.
  4. Download the PDF; choose French as the invoice language for a French client.

Frequently asked questions

Why the mention?
Under the VAT franchise you charge no VAT, and the invoice must say so: “TVA non applicable, art. 293 B du CGI”.
Is this tax advice?
No. It is a template; check your thresholds with an accountant if in doubt.
Which language should the invoice be in?
Choose it under Language of the document. In French the mention reads “TVA non applicable, art. 293 B du CGI.”; in English it is translated, with the French words kept in brackets beside it, since they are what a French reader looks for. The amounts follow the language: 2 710,00 € in French, €2,710.00 in English.
What happens if I type 20 % on a line?
Nothing is charged. On this page every line is exempt whatever rate is typed, so there is no VAT column and no VAT line: Total HT and Total TTC are the same amount, and the mention is printed under them.
Is what I type uploaded?
No. The invoice is made in your browser and nothing leaves your device.
