trastu Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Hi everyoneBefore moving to France last year I was an Avon lady for a number of years and was contemplating doing the same thing here for a few extra euros a month. I have done a search on the subject and came across similar posts but I was wondering if it could be done under the new auto-entrepreneur system and if so would it be easier.I will make lots of enquiries first to see if there is a demand for Avon amongst my friends and in the local area as I gather from the other posts that Avon isn't quite so popular here in France.I'd appreciate any thoughts please.

Nick Trollope Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 I believe that teh AE scheme would be ideally suited to being an Avon rep.Problem is, how big are the Avon margins? With AE taking 18% (yes?) of your turnover, could you make any money? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert the InfoGipsy Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Actually, for sales the rate is 12% of turnover for cotisations. You also have the option of paying 1% for tax. Assuming that your total income brings you into the tax net then that's a pretty good deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayne Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Hi trastuI sold Avon for a short time last year.You do not have to register as a business as Avon employ you and they pay your cotistations. You have to declare your earnings on your tax form and Avon send you a statementof earnings every three months for tax purposes.Hope this helps and good luck.

trastu Posted April 29, 2009 Author Share Posted April 29, 2009 Thanks for your comments, they are much appreciated.Thank you for your best wishes Jayne. In England you are self-employed as an Avon representative but if Avon employ you here and pay your cotisations that's good but do you mind if I ask why you only did it for a short time, was it not worth your while?Tracey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
