Since Turo is not an EU entity, it’s not required to collect value-added tax (VAT) for trips taken in vehicles listed by Professional hosts. This is true whether the guest is from inside or outside of France. Hosts are responsible for submitting a VAT return to the French Fiscal Administration  and remitting the appropriate VAT amount under the applicable self-assessments rules.  #### Hosts Turo is required to collect value-added tax (VAT) from non-Professional Hosts. If you haven't provided Turo with documentation identifying yourself as a business, we’ll consider that you aren’t a Professional Host. In this case, we’ll apply the French VAT rate to the Turo fee on trips with your vehicles listed in France and booked by guests from inside or outside of France. VAT is calculated at 20% of the Turo fee.

If you take the vehicle to a non-network garage or prefer to receive cash in lieu of repairs, we’ll pay you the net price, excluding VAT, minus your plan’s deductible. If you’re registered as a business, you may be able to claim the VAT back. **Note:** The list of approved garages is not exhaustive and is subject to change. ## VAT FAQs **Are the service fees charged by Turo Inc. subject to French VAT?** The service fees charged by Turo Inc. are subject to French VAT. **How is this VAT paid?** If VAT is separately mentioned by Turo Inc. on the receipt, VAT is collected by Turo Inc. along with the service fees. It is then remitted to the tax authorities by Turo Inc. If VAT is not separately mentioned by Turo Inc. on the receipt, you only have to pay the net amount to Turo Inc. It is then up to you to directly pay the VAT to the tax authorities through the self-assessment procedure. If you already have a VAT number, you need to declare the due tax on your periodic turnover declaration and pay it along with your regular tax obligations. If you do not have a VAT number because you benefit from the VAT relief for small business under Article 293 B of the CGI (therefore you do not charge any VAT for your activities), you are subject to the same regime. To self-assess VAT, you need to request a VAT identification number from your tax office to then file a VAT return. The identification request is made using a special form available from the tax authorities. For more information on this matter, we encourage you to consult a tax advisor or contact your tax office. **What happens if I forget to self-assess French VAT on the service fees charged by Turo Inc.?** Failure to self-assess is sanctioned by a fine of 5% of the due VAT or by interest on arrears, depending on the case. It is possible to regularize your situation voluntarily to limit these sanctions. For more information on this matter, we encourage you to consult a tax advisor or contact your tax office. **You may also find these helpful:** * [Violation fees | Hosts](https://help.turo.com/host-fees-r1aIIExV5) * [Viewing your earnings](https://help.turo.com/viewing-your-earnings-HyFwSVeNq)
