Tax system of French immigrants

French goods are subject to value-added tax after sale, and the tax rate is about 19.6%. In fact, this tax does not need to be paid by suppliers. Generally, value-added tax is added to the wholesale price, which is included in the customer's payment, and the company's expenses can be deducted from the value-added tax to be paid. For example, the company will pay VAT of 654.38+00,000 euros this month. As a result of buying a car for the company's use, the car contains 8,000 euros of VAT, so the company only needs to pay 2,000 euros of VAT this month. France implements a free tax declaration system, which is levied once every quarter in principle, and the amount is declared by the operators themselves. In addition, the company also has to pay employees other related benefits (such as medical benefits, unemployment benefits, pensions, etc.). These related welfare expenditures account for about 45% to 55% of the salary, of which the boss helps the employees pay about 33%. For example, the employee's monthly salary 1200 euros, in addition to the employee's salary, the boss has to pay about 396 euros to the government, and the other part is paid by the employee.

The minimum wage in France is around 809 euros. If an employee of a company is unemployed or retired, the government will refund the unemployment benefits and pensions paid to the employee in batches.

Whether it is the calculation of value-added tax, the declaration of wages or the declaration of tax payment, it is handled by accountants. For large enterprises, you can hire specialized accountants; For a small company, you can ask an accounting firm to serve you. Pay a certain service fee every month, about 1000~2500 RMB (calculated by turnover). If the turnover is high, the accounting expenses will be higher.

Everyone who works or does business in France needs to pay personal income tax once a year. The annual income below 1.068 euros is not taxed, and the individual income tax above 1.068 euros is levied 10% ~ 50%.

The French government stipulates that joint-stock companies and limited liability companies operating in France should pay 25% tax if their net profit is less than 40,000 euros, and 33% tax if their net profit exceeds 40,000 euros, but the tax rate will be adjusted from time to time.

Loss-making enterprises only need to pay more than 700 euros/year. If it is a newly established company, it is completely exempt from profits tax in the first two years, 5% of 25% net profit in the third year, 50% of 25% net profit in the fourth year, 75% of 25% net profit in the fifth year and all of them in the sixth year.

France's import tax rate is the same as that of other western countries. For example, the tariffs on clothing and building materials are all around 15%. If it is an electronic product, you may need to apply for special inspection. Relevant French consulting companies can handle these procedures. The specific tax rates of various commodities can be found on the official website of French Customs.

French taxes are related to China people, such as customs duties, value-added tax and related benefits, personal income tax and corporate profit tax, while others, such as inheritance tax and super-rich tax, are mostly unrelated to China people. After paying business tax in France, profits can be remitted freely.

First, online instant inquiry saves the waiting time for inquiring overseas prices.

Some shipping companies that specialize in transporting goods will also do personal international baggage consignment business. When replying to customers' price inquiries, such companies can't provide accurate price information immediately: at first, such shipping companies can only provide domestic starting fees, but can't provide the total freight for consignment, so it will take days or even weeks just to make an inquiry. And professional luggage consignment companies can solve customers' troubles in this respect.

The second is door-to-door service, which saves more personal time by completing the consignment procedures without leaving home.

From the perspective of baggage transportation routes, there are three kinds of baggage transportation services in the market at present, namely, port-to-port service, door-to-door service and door-to-door service. One of the most time-saving is on-site service. When checking luggage abroad, door-to-door service is the most important time-saving skill. The so-called door-to-door service refers to a kind of consignment service in which the consignment company collects the consignment goods at home and delivers them to the designated address after the customer sends the dispatch instruction.

Compared with port-to-port and door-to-door services, door-to-door services not only save customers more time to transport their luggage before going abroad and after arriving in the destination country, but also save them the trouble of carrying heavy luggage.

Third, arrange baggage consignment in advance to shorten the waiting time.

The shipping time can't be changed in the short and long term, but if you can arrange the consignment 6-8 weeks in advance, your luggage will arrive abroad without waiting for a long time. Or you can sort the luggage according to whether it is urgent or not, and arrange some luggage that is not in a hurry to use, such as out-of-season clothes, kitchen supplies, daily necessities, bicycles and so on. After arriving in the destination country and settling down for a period of time, the luggage arrived, saving the trouble of too many items and being in a hurry.
