The key issues
Micro-enterprise or actual regime
Under the micro regime, real costs (vehicle, fuel, insurance, commissions) are not deducted: contributions are a percentage of turnover, and income tax is calculated after a flat allowance.
The vehicle
Purchase, lease or long-term rental: deduction of rents and depreciation is capped for passenger vehicles.
Platforms and receipts
Platform statements, commissions and direct payments to reconcile with your bank account.
VAT in transport
Passenger transport, goods transport, fuel: rates and recovery rights differ.

Frequently asked questions
Which VAT rate applies to passenger transport (VTC, taxi) in France?
A reduced rate generally applies to passenger transport; other services follow their own rates. We check your activity.
VTC driver: can I recover VAT on my vehicle?
For a passenger car, VAT is generally not recoverable, with exceptions for some professional uses such as taxis or driving schools under conditions.
VTC driver: how is platform income (Uber, Bolt…) recorded?
From the platform statements: gross amount, commissions, net paid, reconciled with your bank account.
VTC or taxi vehicle: long-term lease or purchase?
A lease gives a predictable charge and preserves cash; buying builds an asset. Deductions are capped for passenger vehicles.
VTC or taxi driver: do I need to keep track of private use of my vehicle?
When the vehicle is also used privately, distinguishing professional and private use is essential to support the expenses deducted. We tell you which records to keep.
