chocccie Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 If this has been discussed before (and I'm sure it has!), could somebody point me in the right direction as my searches haven't been useful. Next year I'll be doing a bit of work here and there, just part time. This will consist of labouring, painting etc, gardening. Am I required to register for each of these areas separately, or do I just register once and declare all of my earnings lumped together? Can my wife and I register together, or will we need to do so separately?Many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Trollope Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 Don't bother, there is no way you will cover your costs working part time.Either work illegally, on CESU or get a job.Don't be self-employed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 Or you may be able to become an autoentrepreneur - try searching on that word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinabee Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 info on auto-entrepreneur herehttp://www.auto-entrepreneur.fr/as far as I can make out, you can't register until Jan 2009 but there is a draft "kit" available Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panda Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 How much better off would someone be on this scheme though? Is it 23% of total earnings with no abatement, if so it would not have benefited me I don't think except for the first year when I did not reach full.earnings. I guess it makes working out how much you would need to pay simpler though..Just looked a the forum on the link provided and there are a few asking can they close their micro on 31/12 and reopen as an auto 1/01, reading the answers no one seems sure although one person puts forward that it is prohibited. Interestingly though one person who wants to change says she currently pays 24.6% plus tax and wants the new regime as it's 23% including tax, not worth the bother for me I don't think.

Nick Trollope Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 And the legislation has yet to be finalised. Plus, it does not take an accountant to work out just how little difference this scheme will make.Until France adopts the UK (+ ROW) system of post-earning taxation at sensible rates there will be no opportuities for legal part-time self-employed people in this country.

Albert the InfoGipsy Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Actually, the law was passed this week. I agree about the French system as a whole being counter-productive, but this looks like a step in the right direction for people who want a small or part time business.
