What does “the associés pay the tax directly” mean?
✅ In brief
It means that the result may be taxed at the level of the associés, instead of being taxed only in the company.
🧭 What you need to know
- This logic corresponds to the régime des sociétés de personnes or to certain options.
- Each associé may be taxed according to their share and situation.
- The effect can be very different depending on the associés.
- This choice must be understood before it is validated.

🔎 Points to check
- Who the associés are.
- Their personal tax situation.
- How the result is allocated.
- Advice from a chartered accountant.
⚖️ Limits to know
- Leegal is not a law firm or an accounting firm.

📌 Key takeaway
If the associés pay the tax directly, the choice goes beyond the company itself: it affects each associé.
