Pippa

Thanks Chancer. Sorry not responded before but only just seen your reply. We have been all over the place trying to sort this out. Been to Tax Office today who says that we do not need to register with GdF (which is extremely expensive for us) but we should visit our Tourist Office (in Montignac) who will help us to get 'classification' which is sufficient to retain the 71/29 split under the MicroBic regime. Apparently it is possible to get classification without a star rating, which we will try to do in order to keep tax de sejour down. In response to the second part of your post. If there is a maximmum number of bedrooms and guests we are going to be in the merde because we have 12 bedrooms and up to 23 guests!

Our accountant has told us that, in order to continue with the 71%/29% regime in Micro Bic, we must register with Gites de France. If we do not then our level of turnover allowed will also drop. I would love to know where we can find a definitive answer to this question. Does anyone know the answer?!
