I want to start an auto entrepreneur business as a photographer and videographer in France. I have watched your videos and gone through your site, and there are few things that are not clear to me.

Contribution Fonciere des Entreprises (CFE) tax. I understood that this is now compulsory for all auto entrepreneurs, except for first year in business. Is this automatically so, or do I have to opt paying my income tax from source when I register?
How much is CFE tax in Paris?
In this article you write about compulsory registration for artisans, with a fee of 180 euros. Can you explain what this is and if it applied to my situation?
In the same article you mention a five-day mandatory training course, can you explain what this is and does it apply to me?
