French Tax Form Blocking App Submission - Auto-Entrepreneur / VAT Exempt
Hello, I am a French developer registered as an "auto-entrepreneur" (sole trader) and I am currently unable to submit a new app version to the App Store. The error message states: "To submit this version of your app, you must first provide all required tax information." The issue is with the French tax form ("Informations fiscales du pays suivant : France"), which requires a VAT number. However, as an auto-entrepreneur in France, I operate under the "franchise en base de TVA" regime, which means I am legally exempt from collecting and remitting VAT, and therefore I do not have a French VAT number (TVA intracommunautaire). To clarify my situation: I am registered as an auto-entrepreneur in France I am below the VAT registration threshold (franchise en base de TVA) I do not use alternative payment processing or link out to external websites I only use Apple's standard In-App Purchase system I have not signed the Alternative Terms Addendum My existing paid apps contracts and US tax forms (W-8BEN / W-8BEN-E) are all active Could you please advise on how to complete this tax form without a VAT number, or unlock my ability to submit apps given my VAT-exempt status? Thank you for your help.
