Thanks for this video: Can you break down how much taxes a IT freelancer has to pay? Urssaf tax 22% each month Annual tax on whole income ( how much ) CFE company taxes ( first year no need to pay ) Anything else ?

Thanks a lot for the video Guiga! It seems that you missed to attach the link to the micro-entepreneurs PDF. Also links to other videos that you mention during the video are not appearing. It will be really nice if you add them to the description. Thanks in advance!

Hi Albert, I'm happy this can help you! The link to request the PDF is at the top of the video description. Here it is as well: expat-in-france.com/get-your-micro-entrepreneur-guide/ The video about the micro-entrepreneur costs will be published during the summer. It is not done yet. Cheers

Your video is verey informative Guiga, thank you. I work as a online professor (adjunct) for a college in the states. I do not live in the city where I work and can and do work from europe when I travel. I only pay tax in the USA. I would like to pay tax in France to get on the insurance program and also just because it is the right thing to do. Would the auto entrepreneur program be right for me? Pension money comes out of my check and us taxes but no social security. My annual income is about $25,000 but at most $6,000 would be earned while in France. Thank you for any help you can give. Oh also I have an Italian passport so don't think I will need a visa.

Hi,I already have a regular job in France and they pay all my contributions so I’m already on the system,is it possible to join the AE scheme as a sideline mechanic from my garage and still keep my regular job?

[@expatinfrance]

Hi, it depends whether you are on a visa or not and if this visa authorizes you to be self-employed. FYI, the salaried visa doesn't authorize to work as self employed on the sidelines as you say. All the best.

Great tips Guiga. I would have loved to have known these at the beginning. The CFE tax was such a horrible surprise and I still don't fully understand it! Not a fun "gift" in December! For the TVA (VAT in French), it's my understanding that I only need to declare it income from the moment I cross the threshold. Is that right? I "hope" to hit it at the end of this year.

[@expatinfrance]

Yes, that's right. And you'll start including it on your invoice. You may want to look at changing company structure once you reach the threshold. The micro-entrepreneurs status is really worth it only when you are under the threshold. But an accountant will be able to advise better. Good luck and congratulations on reaching the threshold soon!

Hi, I'm living in Italy. I want start work as a freelancer or self employed in France. I have permanent residency EU of Italia. My question,Can I start work in France on this documents status thanks.

[@expatinfrance]

Hi, No, your permit is Italian, not French. Another EU permit doesn't authorize you to work in another EU country unless it is an EU Blue card under specific circumstances. All the best!
