Hello! I have read with great interest the pros and cons of running gites against B&Bs. However, I would be very grateful if you could answer a question regarding registering as a company and paying taxes. If you are running a gite - living in an alternative property, would you be required to register as a company ie with the chambre de commerce. Also, what about declaring and paying taxes on the earnings/profit? Do you have to have an accountant, or can you file your own tax returns and if so when and how? Is there an amount that you can earn before you have to pay taxes - can you point me in the right direction to get more information??? Thank you in advance for your help Kind regards and Happy New Year Viki
