The world is changing, my French CPA chartered accountant in Paris France is supporting me.

Dec 08, 2023.

As part of the relationship of trust with the French tax administration, a new system is offered to companies, for their financial years ending on or after December 31, 2020: the Tax Compliance Examination (also known as Examen de Conformité Fiscale, ECF).

By carrying out the ECF, your French chartered accountant helps to secure the tax situation of your company and to limit the risks and consequences of a tax audit.

BECAUSE IT IS BETTER TO PREVENT THAN TO SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES OF A TAX CONTROL!

Our consulting firm of chartered accountant supports you in securing your company's legal and fiscal relationship by carrying out a Tax Compliance Examination (ECF). Enter with your chartered accountant into a relationship of trust with the French tax administration!

You have the possibility to verify and secure the tax compliance of your declarations as well as the file of accounting records (FEC) of your company. You are thus freed from the worries that tax risk may represent on current issues.

In addition, as part of the relationship of trust with the tax authorities, the ECF allows you to obtain guarantees in the event of a tax audit: no penalty or late interest will be due in the event of a tax reassessment on any of the tax points validated during this examination.

Whether you are already a client of our chartered accounting firm in Paris, France or not yet, waste no more time and contact us.

Benefit from our experience as a French CPA chartered accountant and advice in Tax Compliance Examination (ECF)

Client:

Is my company concerned by the French Tax Compliance Examination (ECF)?

Firm:

ANY BUSINESS, regardless of its size (in terms of turnover or employees), its legal form (sole proprietorship or company), its tax regime (IS Corporate Tax or IR Income Tax) and its sector of activity, CAN SECURE ITS SITUATION AND BENEFIT FROM AN ECF.

Client:

Do I have to do an ECF?

Firm:

NO OBLIGATION! But this is an OPPORTUNITY to benefit from tax peace. In the event of a subsequent tax audit, no penalty and no late interest will be charged in case of a French tax reassessment if the audit relates to points validated within the framework of the ECF and if the company is acting in good faith. In addition, the ECF is an asset in terms of company valuation and transmission, as well as in your banking or commercial relations as it strengthens the accounting and tax reliability of your business.

Client:

The ECF, the FEC … aren’t they the same thing?

Firm:

No ! The Tax Compliance Examination (ECF) eliminates tax risk on common issues in France. The File of Accounting Entries (FEC) is one of the 10 POINTS CONTROLLED during the ECF, relating in particular to:

– the validity (1) and accounting compliance (2) of the FEC
– the validity and conformity of the cash register software (3)
– document archiving (4)
– the correct application of tax regimes (5)
– correct recording of depreciation (6)
– deductibility of provisions (7) and accrued charges (8)
– the deductibility of exceptional charges (9)
– compliance with the rules of chargeability in terms of deductible and collected VAT (10).

Client:

With an ECF, will I no longer have a tax audit in France?

Firm:

No! However, the French tax administration will take into account the existence of the relationship of trust established within the framework of the ECF in its planning of controls.

Client:

How to benefit from the French ECF?

Firm:

To inform the French tax administration of the will to perform the ECF, the company indicates it in its tax return by means of a checkbox. An ECF can be carried out for each financial year ending on or after December 31, 2020.

Client:

You take care of the tax accounts and declarations for our company. Is this new ECF included in your service?

Firm:

No ! This is an COMPLEMENTARY SERVICE relating to 10 control points subject to additional work involving our responsibility and thus specific invoicing. Our tax review results in an Engagement Report (Compte Rendu Métier, CRM) retracing the work carried out. This CRM is sent to the tax authorities within 6 months of producing your tax return. Whether you are a client of the Firm or not yet, contact us without delay to SECURE YOUR TAX SITUATION.
