Can I re-register an auto entrepreneur business in France?
I started my auto entrepreneur business in mid July last year and I earned 17,384 euros total in 2014. I received a notification de sortie du régime in mid March, informing me that I stopped being an auto-entrepreneur on 31 December 2014.
I should have read that it would be calculated pro-rata, but I didn’t expect to have to change my regime because I thought it was calculated on the basis of an entire year’s earnings. I stayed at home January to July 2014 with my newborn baby, but was not remunerated. I am now quite confused about what happens next. I have spoken to the URSSAF and the auto-entrepreneur helpline, but they were profoundly unhelpful.
As I understand, I can close my business and become an auto entrepreneur again immediately so long as I have a different APE code. My activity has actually changed somewhat and is now more like editor. I actually perform a variety of communications related tasks, some translation, some social media management, some speechwriting. I am pregnant and due in October, so it is unlikely that my earnings for 2015 will go over 32,900 euros.
- Will this impact my entitlement to maternity cover from the RSI?
- Will stopping and starting again cause problems with my health cover?
- How do I declare my earnings for the period January to April 2015?
