Article 1740 E of the French General Tax Code

When the tax authorities find that a platform operator covered by 3° of I of Article 1649 ter B has failed to comply with the reporting obligations set out in Article 1649 ter A, they will give the platform operator formal notice to comply with these obligations within a period of three months.

If the platform operator has not regularised its situation by the end of the period provided for in the first paragraph of this Article, the tax authorities will give it formal notice to comply with its reporting obligations within a period of thirty months.
If the platform operator has not regularised its situation by the end of the period provided for in the first paragraph of this article, the tax authorities will give it formal notice to comply with its reporting obligations within a period of thirty days.

If the platform operator has not regularised its situation by the end of the period provided for in the second paragraph, its individual registration number will be withdrawn at the end of a period of three months from the date of this second formal notice.
A platform operator whose individual registration number has been withdrawn pursuant to the first three paragraphs may submit a new application for a single registration number on expiry of a period of six months from the date on which the withdrawal takes effect, provided that it submits sufficient guarantees of its commitment to fulfil its reporting obligations, including those with which it has not previously complied and which prompted the withdrawal.

Article 1740 E

Lorsque l’administration fiscale constate le non-respect par un opérateur de plateforme relevant du 3° du I de l’article 1649 ter B des obligations déclaratives prévues à l’article 1649 ter A, elle le met en demeure de s’y conformer dans un délai de trois mois.


Si l’opérateur de plateforme n’a pas régularisé sa situation à l’expiration du délai prévu au premier alinéa du présent article, l’administration fiscale le met en demeure de se conformer à ses obligations déclaratives dans un délai de trente jours.


Si l’opérateur de plateforme n’a pas régularisé sa situation à l’expiration du délai prévu au deuxième alinéa, son numéro d’enregistrement individuel est retiré à l’expiration d’un délai de trois mois à compter de cette seconde mise en demeure.


L’opérateur de plateforme dont le numéro d’enregistrement individuel a été retiré en application des trois premiers alinéas peut déposer, à l’expiration d’un délai de six mois à compter de la prise d’effet du retrait, une nouvelle demande de numéro d’enregistrement unique, à la condition de présenter des garanties suffisantes de son engagement à remplir ses obligations déclaratives, y compris celles auxquelles il ne s’est pas précédemment conformé et qui ont motivé le retrait.
