underlying exemption
Nor, whatever the Horse's Mouth is supposed to mean, can I read any registration into either permutation of 'base'.
As we know from the UK inheritance tax nil-rate band (NRB), the term of 'threshold' is ambiguous, as it can in fact mean a nil-rate multiplier x 0 (!) through which values of assets must pass to qualify for other reliefs and allowances.
VAT exemption - entreprendre.service-public-public.fr The exemption from VAT is a VAT system which exempts companies from the declaration and payment of VAT on the supplies or sales they make.

Then you've never visited Hadrian's Wall and ought to try parsing the French in a proper way: la franchise en base - de TVA

It doesn't. Like the other neutrals, you may have fallen into the mis-parsing trap. So take another, careful look at the question. It reads la franchise en base -> de TVA, rather than franchise/ en base de TVA.

VAT exemption for small businesses
| That sample text was from a French website. The actual strings I'm translating are in Spanish, translated from French, and "franchise en base" appeared in the middle of some Spanish phrases. |

business exemption based on VAT
https://www.capitalontap.com/en/guides/posts/vat-exemption/
"VAT exemption is a tax incentive that allows businesses to avoid charging customers the standard VAT rate on goods and services."
https://blog.shorts.uk.com/exempt-from-vat-or-zero-rated-wha...
"Businesses which are considered 'zero-rated' are exempt from paying VAT on the goods and services that they sell. They don't need to register for VAT nor charge any tax on sales. Examples of zero-rated items include food, books and pharmaceuticals."
"Exempt goods and services include education, insurance and health services. However, specific conditions or restrictions may apply to certain exemptions, so it's advisable to consult a VAT expert."

"de base" and "en base" appear to mean the same thing.
And now Adrian will post another answer claiming that the answer to the previous question was wrong...

You're welcome!
Yes, it almost certainly does relate to VAT. When you Google it, all the hits are about VAT as far as I can see.
| I find out that franchise in French can mean "exemption", but the question then arises of whether it means VAT-exemption... |
| The previous query solution seems okay to me and very edifying. And again, I wonder why it didn't flag the previous query when I posted mine. Thanks for the help ! |
