The electronic invoicing reform is a French legal obligation that progressively requires all businesses to issue and receive their invoices in a structured electronic format, via an Approved Platform (PA). Vestiaire Collective, as the platform facilitating your sales, must have valid tax identification information in order to continue processing your invoices in compliance with the law.
Who is affected by this reform?
All sellers based in France with a professional account on Vestiaire Collective are affected.
If you are established outside of France, the French reform does not directly apply to your business: however, we still need your national tax identification number to fulfill our own reporting obligations.
Individual sellers (C2C) are not affected by this reform.
By what date must I submit my information?
Vestiaire Collective must be compliant by September 1, 2026. Therefore, we need to have your updated tax information before this date to continue processing your invoices without interruption. The timeline for when your own obligations take effect depends on the size of your business. You can check this on the official tax administration website.
What information is required?
Vestiaire Collective must have the following information:
If you are a business established in France: your legal name, your SIREN number, and, if you are subject to VAT, your intra-Community VAT number.
If you are an individual with a registered activity in France (auto-entrepreneur, sole proprietorship): your first and last name, your SIREN number.
If you are established outside France: your national tax identification number (TIN / Tax Identification Number) as well as your VAT number, if you have one.
What happens if I do not provide my tax information?
Failure to provide a valid tax identifier may result in:
Your invoices being rejected by the Approved Platform
Delays in processing your payments
Reclassification of your account as a personal account if your professional status cannot be verified
To ensure compliance and avoid disruptions, we encourage you to update your tax information as soon as it is requested.
If you have questions regarding your tax obligations, we recommend consulting a tax advisor or accountant for personalized advice.
