WHAT IS TAX REPRESENTATION?
Tax representation concerns companies that undertake taxable business activities in France (legal requirement to charge French VAT), but are not established in France, or that, on account of their activities in France, are required to file VAT returns (intra-Community acquisitions or supplies).
So, such companies must register for VAT in France.
In order to comply with their obligations they can, or must, according to the circumstances, have a tax representative to act on their behalf.

TAX REPRESENTATIVE, TAX AGENT OR TAX RESPONDENT: WHICH SOLUTION TO CHOOSE?
Tax agents offer their services to EU companies. In a lot of cases, authorising a tax agent to act on your behalf ensures your tax returns are correctly filed and your obligations are met.
Tax representatives offer their services to non-EU companies, which must appoint a tax representative to undertake the formalities of VAT in France. The tax representative is jointly liable and responsible with its client vis-à-vis the tax authorities.
Tax respondents offer their services to non-French companies (EU and non-EU) that undertake business activities for clients that are liable for VAT in France and that wish, within the scope of provisions regarding the reverse charge procedure introduced on 1 September 2006, to continue charging their customers French VAT.
