MANDATORY INVOICE NOTICES

According to the French General Tax Code (Article 289), every invoice must contain the following:

- A unique sequential invoice number (no gaps in numbering)

VAT: GENERAL INFORMATION

The applicable VAT rate depends on your legal status and your revenue:

ARTEDUSA invoices include VAT in accordance with the information you declared during registration.

Important: It is your responsibility to declare and remit the collected VAT to the tax authorities according to your tax regime.

DOCUMENT RETENTION

French law requires the retention of all accounting documents (invoices, bank statements, receipts) for a minimum of 10 years.

ARTEDUSA automatically archives your invoices for 10 years, but we recommend that you download and keep them on your end as well.

Organize your documents by fiscal year in separate folders to facilitate your tax returns and any potential tax audits.

INVOICE NUMBERING

ARTEDUSA invoices are numbered sequentially and chronologically, in compliance with legal requirements.

Format used: FACT-2025-00001, FACT-2025-00002, etc. The numbering resets to zero each calendar year.

Important: There must be no gaps in the numbering. If you notice a missing number, contact ARTEDUSA support immediately.

TAX RETURNS

The income you earn through ARTEDUSA must be declared to the tax authorities according to your personal tax regime.

ARTEDUSA invoices can serve as income documentation for your annual tax returns.

Depending on your situation, you may need to file monthly or quarterly returns (VAT, social contributions). Consult an accountant to find out your exact obligations.
