The legal persons designated in 2 of Article 218 A may be invited, by the tax department, to designate within ninety days of receipt of this request, a representative in France authorised to receive communications relating to the assessment, collection and litigation of tax (1).
However, the obligation to appoint a tax representative does not apply to persons who have their registered office in another Member State of the European Union or in another State party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area that has entered into an administrative assistance agreement with France with a view to combating tax fraud and tax evasion, as well as an agreement on mutual assistance in tax collection.
