Posting of workers in France: evolution of the law

The French government has made some modifications to the regulations on the posting of drivers in France.

On the certificate of posting:

  • You now have to mention your Intracommunity VAT number, or if it is impossible, indicate your registration number to a professional register.
  • You have to indicate the State where your posted driver is attached for social security (instead of mentioning the social security institution to which you are paying contributions).

Documents kept by your representative must be in French, and amounts must be in euros.

If you post temporary workers in France through a temporary work agency, you must provide the French work inspection with a declaration. This declaration ensures that the temporary work company is aware of the posting of its drivers and recognizes the work conditions that must be respected owing to their posting.

For more information please consult the French government website.

Viapass, a kilometre-based tax for HGVs in Belgium

What is Viapass in Belgium?

Viapass is a new kilometre-based road tax for Heavy Goods Vehicles driving in Belgium.

This new road toll applies to (all) HGVs:

  • from Belgium and foreign countries
  • over 3,5 tons
  • used to carry goods

The kilometre charge “Viapass” replaces the former “Eurovignette”. Each truck transitting on Belgian roads has to be equipped with an OBU (On Board Unit) which will calculate the toll to be paid depending on the number of kilometres travelled in the area. Invoices will then be issued and sent on a regular basis.

When did Viapass take effect?

Viapass took effect as of the 1st April 2016.

Can I recover VAT on this Belgian kilometre charge system?

Only one of the 3 Belgian regions applies VAT on this road tax: Wallonia (southern Belgium) applies a 21% VAT rate on Viapass. This VAT is recoverable.

Flanders and Brussels don’t apply VAT on this tax.

Map of Viapass taxation in the 3 Belgian regions.

Please note: you have to provide us with the invoices issued by SOFICO in order to recover your VAT in Wallonia. For the moment, these invoices are issued per truck and per period (every 14 days), which may amount to a significant number of invoices depending on the size of your fleet.

You can visit the website http://www.viapass.be/en/ or contact your usual supplier of toll solutions in order to comply with Viapass regulation.

If you have any questions about VAT recovery on Viapass in Wallonia, please feel free to contact us.

Stronger controls for the refund of French TICPE

Since the beginning of the year 2015, French Customs are strengthening their controls on claims submitted for the recovery of this diesel tax.

New requirements appeared:

  • A new document must be included in all the claims: a list of cards for each fuel supplier. It must be edited and signed by each fuel supplier and must mention the following information:
    • Fuel card N°
    • Plate N° of the vehicle associated to each fuel card
    • Card expiry date

The original document is necessary for the claim not to be rejected by the Customs.

  • Customers must also keep their tickets during 3 years because the Customs may ask for them in case of controls.
