Frequently asked questions
Does a hair or beauty salon in France need certified till software?
Not necessarily certified, but compliant: if you are VAT-registered (outside the VAT franchise) and record payments from consumers in till software, it must meet conditions of inalterability, security, storage and archiving, evidenced by a certificate from an accredited body or an individual attestation from the publisher.
Hair or beauty salon: how should chair or cabin rental be framed?
With a written contract, an independent status for the renter and rent invoiced correctly. Poorly framed, it can be requalified as employment.
Beauty salon: how are gift vouchers and prepaid packages recorded?
They are recorded when sold and recognised as revenue when the service is provided; VAT rules depend on the type of voucher.
Hair or beauty salon: how should I track product stock?
With regular counts and a separation between products used in services and products sold.
Can a hair or beauty salon in France hire an apprentice?
Yes, apprenticeship is common in hair and beauty, and hiring aid may exist depending on the rules in force. We can handle the contract and payslips as part of the payroll service, on request.
Hair or beauty salon: does your accountant in France handle your accounts, your till and sector payroll?
