Frequently asked questions
Which status to start as a private hire (VTC) driver?
The micro-business regime is simple at first, but real costs (vehicle, fuel, commissions) are not deducted. A business under the actual-profit regime or a company often quickly becomes more relevant.

Proximity helps, but what matters most is availability and knowledge of your file. Our office is in Paris: meetings in Paris, by video call or by phone.
Can we work entirely in English?
Yes: meetings, emails and explanations of your accounts can be in English. Statutory filings and returns must be prepared in French; we explain them to you in English.
Where are formalities for a company in Paris 18th handled?
Through the single business formalities portal; the competent one is the registry of the Paris commercial court (tribunal des activités économiques de Paris). We prepare and follow these formalities for you.
Can you take over my file during the year?
