New Businesses: Simplified Issuance of Tax Compliance Certificates Published on July 20, 2026 - Entreprendre Service Public / Direction of Legal and Administrative Information (Prime Minister)
On July 8, 2026, the BOFIP announced a relaxation of the conditions for issuing tax compliance certificates to newly established businesses. This change aims to facilitate their access to public tenders and, more broadly, to simplify their administrative procedures.

The tax compliance certificate allows a business to prove that it is up-to-date with its tax obligations. It is particularly required in the context of public tenders, public service delegations, and certain regulatory procedures.
Until now, new businesses could face difficulties in obtaining this certificate due to a lack of tax history. Now, the administrative doctrine specifies that they can benefit from it, even in the absence of declaration or payment obligations at this stage of their activity. This measure aims to prevent their recent establishment from being a barrier to their candidacy for a public tender.
