What do “tax options” mean during creation?

✅ In brief

Tax options are the choices that indicate how the business will be taxed and how it will manage TVA at startup.

🧭 What you need to know

• The Business Formalities One-Stop Shop (Guichet unique) asks for choices about profit tax and TVA.
• These choices may concern IS, IR, réel simplifié, réel normal, franchise en base de TVA or other options.
• They help determine filing obligations after creation.
• They are not just administrative questions: they can have concrete effects.

🛠️ How Leegal supports you

• Leegal helps you understand the wording shown during the creation process and prepare a clearer file.
• The flow can organize information, documents and points to watch, but it does not replace a personalized review.
• If your situation is specific, it is still preferable to ask a chartered accountant, a lawyer or another qualified professional for advice.

🔎 Points to check

• Your legal form.
• Your activity and clients.
• Your planned purchases and investments.
• Your ability to manage regular filings.

⚖️ Limits to know

• Leegal is not a law firm or an accounting firm.
• Leegal explains the options and helps prepare formalities, but does not choose for you.
• Tax, social security or personal asset consequences can depend on your actual situation.

📌 Key takeaway

Tax options organize tax and TVA from the start; if in doubt, ask for professional advice.
