I have set up my olive cultivation business as cotisant solidaire in France and have been assigned a système d’identification du répertoire des établissements (SIRET) number. I understand that I will be able to recover TVA on any expenses incurred in running the business. However, I notice other businesses I deal with, have asked me for my numero taxe sur la valeur ajoutée (TVA). How do I go about obtaining a TVA number? Should I avoid incurring expenses until I have one?
