New French Law Requires Invoices for Online Reselling

France Implements New Invoice Mandate for Online Reselling Starting June 1st, 2025, a new law in France requires invoices for all items resold on online marketplaces like Leboncoin, Vinted, and others. This measure, aimed at curbing disguised business activities, has caught many casual sellers off guard. The government's goal is to increase tax revenue from individuals who frequently resell items online, even if only to supplement their income. Many are unaware of the new regulations and the potential for retroactive tax audits and penalties for non-compliance. "Even reselling gifts could be affected," explains one online reseller, highlighting the broad scope of the new law. The lack of clear public communication surrounding this change has led to widespread confusion and concern among casual sellers. The government claims the new law is intended to level the playing field and ensure fair tax collection, but many feel it unfairly targets individuals who resell items occasionally. The video concludes by questioning whether this is truly a fair measure. The government is working to increase awareness and provide resources to help individuals understand and comply with the new regulations.
