The French Tax Authority has announced that VAT will be applicable to all charters in France for contracts signed from the 15th July onwards, even on the commercial yachts that were previously excluded from taxation.
Regulations are still being clarified, but it appears that any charter that goes beyond French territorial waters (that is 12 nautical miles) will receive a 50% reduction in the VAT rate to 9.8%. Regardless of this reduction, we highly recommend that you book your charter before Bastille Day!
