Legal and tax structure for Chambre d’Hotes and campsite in France?
We have been trying to decide which of the several legal and tax structures we should register our business as in France. We have bought a small Chambres D’ Hotes and 20 pitch campsite. We have done this to further our previous work with underprivileged families in the UK. We work with several organisations who send us families in need who sometimes can pay a little and sometimes nothing. These guests use both the camping (we have our own tents) and Chambres d’Hotes.
This activity will be funded from the profit from those holidaymakers who choose to visit us and can afford to pay. We also have a small restaurant, bar and shop. We anticipate turnover of the campsite and Chambres d’Hotes to be in the region of €20k per annum and the restaurant/bar/shop €10K. Our challenge is that we prefer to be taxed on profits which will be miniscule or indeed non existent rather than on our turnover, but we wish to keep accounting costs to a minimum also. How would you set this up, both legal entity and tax structure. In your reply could you possibly outline the likely costs per annum.
