CFE bills for 2022 are now available online. These can be viewed and paid on the professional side of the impots.gouv.fr website. If you have not already created your account on this site, it is important to do so as these bills are not sent out on paper.
The bills can be viewed under the "acces aux avis CFE" tab on the first page of the site, when you logon.

If you have a bill for 2022, you can pay it as a one off payment, which must be made by the 15th of December.

You can also choose to have the money taken automatically from your designated bank account, which will be on or around the 27th of December - this option will roll over year on year unless you change it. If you want to do this for 2022, you need to make the choice before the end of November

Alternatively, you can opt to pay by monthly direct debit for 2023, which will take effect in January.

⚠️ CFE TAX ⚠️

If you set up you business in 2016, as a microentrepreneur, you may well be liable for CFE tax this year.
This is a business tax that is payable in December each year; the amount varies according to several factors, and some businesses maybe exempt. If you work from home, you are still liable for this, even if you pay taxe foncière on your property.
However, bills are no longer sent out on paper, you need an online account on the impôts website to check your libility for this tax.
Make sure you don't get caught out.
For more information or assistance, please get in touch.

La cotisation foncière des entreprises (CFE) est l'une des 2 composantes de la contribution économique territoriale (CET) avec la cotisation sur la valeur ajoutée des entreprises (CVAE).

Here is an interesting and informative article about the impact of the new turnover thresholds on the TVA status of the microentrepreneur.

Whilst the turnover threshold for MEs is going up to 70,000€ for services and 170,000€ for sales, from January 2018, the TVA threshold is not changing. So MEs who exceed the TVA threshold will be able to stay in the régime but will become liable to charge and claim TVA.

There is a lot of confusion and conflicting information out there about the rules and regulations surrounding UK cars in France.

If you live in France permanently, and have brought your car over from the UK, legally you have one month to register the car in France and get it on French plates or, at the very least, get the process started.

Some insurers will insure the car on uk plates while the registration process is underway. However, please be aware that the authorities are tightening up the enforcement of the law in this area and continuing to drive a car on uk plates could land you in trouble if you get stopped or are involved in an accident.

Please get in touch if you would like more information, or help with the registration process.

Some interesting changes to self employment have been officially announced today.
The main points of interest for small business owners:
- Turnover threshold to be increased to 70,000€ for services and 170,000 for sales under the microentrepreneur regime.
- Exoneration from CFE tax for sole traders with a turnover of under 5,000€.
- The RSI to be phased out over a two year period and integrated into the régime général for social security.
- Decrease in the family and sickness elements of cotisations to make up for the increase in CSG.
- EXONERATION FROM COTISATIONS SOCIALS IN YEAR ONE OF TRADING, called année blanche.

It seems that the Macron administration is following through on promises to support and encourage self employment.
Please get in touch if you have a small business project, have any questions or would like some advice.
