French Southern Territories

The French Southern Territories (TAAF) have no permanent population and no official territory-specific TIN has been identified. Personnel sent to the territory may be subject to a local contribution directe territoriale, but this is a tax regime collected through employers, not a taxpayer identifier.

TIN status

No separate local TIN format is published for validation.

  • 1 French tax numbers may exist for individuals or entities that are French taxpayers, but those identifiers belong to the French TIN system and should be validated under France.
  • 2 The contribution directe territoriale, sometimes referred to as a local income-tax contribution for TAAF service, is not an identifier.
