Essential guide
How contractor engagement works in Mayotte
A concise starting point for contractor onboarding. Confirm the contractor's current registration and tax position before the first invoice.
How contractors trade here
Use the contractor's French business registration and preserve the Mayotte address as a material fact. An individual business is registered through France's business-formalities system and entered in the national business register. French official guidance continues to identify Mayotte as a territory where VAT is not applicable, so the buyer should not copy a metropolitan-France VAT configuration into the supplier record.

Trading vehicles
Entreprise individuelle
Individual business
Check this natural-person vehicle before assuming the contractor needs a company. Ask for a current registration extract showing the legal name, activity, Mayotte address, and active status. When the invoice is issued by a company, replace the individual supplier record with the actual company counterparty and collect the corresponding registration evidence before work or invoicing continues.
Sources: French public-service individual-business registration
Invoicing and registration
The invoice should identify the registered supplier, customer, service and performance period, invoice date and number, agreed currency, and total. Ask the contractor to state the local tax treatment clearly. Current French guidance says VAT is not applicable in Mayotte; that does not remove the contractor's French income-tax and business-record responsibilities or authorize finance to invent a substitute tax charge.

Registration numbers
SIREN
Record the SIREN from the business-registration evidence. Use it to match the contract, supplier record, and invoice even when the contractor also uses an establishment identifier or trading name. Refresh the extract when the contractor changes address, activity, or legal form, because those changes can affect both the counterparty and the tax facts used by finance.
Who needs it: The registered individual business or company providing the service.

Currency and timing
The currency on the invoice
Agree the currency, due date, and conversion rule in writing. Keep that commercial decision separate from the Mayotte VAT position. Finance should retain the registration extract, signed contract, accepted service evidence, and invoice together. If a contractor later adds French VAT without explaining a changed establishment or tax position, return the invoice for clarification rather than silently changing the booked amount.

Common mistakes
Assuming every French address has the same VAT setup
Mayotte uses French business registration, but the current official position excludes it from VAT. Configure the supplier from the contractor's evidence and the Mayotte rule, then review any later tax change against current official guidance. Do not infer a tax amount from the euro currency or from a France value in a country field. Keep that review dated.
