Which tax choices matter if I have many purchases at startup?

✅ In brief

If you have many purchases at startup, TVA and the tax regime can have a significant impact on cash flow.

🧭 What you need to know

• Under the TVA franchise, you generally do not recover TVA on your purchases.
• With a TVA regime, you can collect and deduct TVA under the applicable rules.
• The mini-réel or réel normal can sometimes follow TVA more closely, but they are more technical.
• Investments should be anticipated before choosing.

🛠️ 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

• The amount of stock, equipment or software purchased.
• TVA paid on these purchases.
• The date of the first sales.
• Advice from a chartered accountant.

⚖️ 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

Many startup purchases make the TVA question more important.
