TVA Registration

Hi Valerie,

In November last year I requested and received an Intra-Community TVA number and i’ve been declaring DES monthly on the douane website.
This month I am approaching the TVA threshold so I messaged through Impots requesting that they activate my TVA number for normal TVA and requesting:
“I also ask to be able to submit annual VAT returns, because all my transactions are transactions between companies in foreign countries, and I will therefore have no VAT to declare.”

They replied back saying:
“I don’t understand your request. You have an active VAT number since November 2023 for import/export”

Looking at the TVA section on impots, it shows monthly, undeclared, TVA declarations all the way back to when I started in 2022.

I’d like some clarification on some things please:

1, Is it normal for the TVA section to show all the months, even when not TVA registered? Or could they have incorrectly registered me for TVA at the start?

2, Was I supposed to do anything to start using my TVA number for normal TVA?

3, Do you think there is just some confusion in my request?

Although all my earnings come from either Ireland or UK, so TVA will always be zero, I still need to start acting like I am TVA registered from this month, as who knows maybe one day I will do some work for someone in France.
