Summary (English)

To encourage entrepreneurship and reduce social and tax evasion, the Government of France introduced a simplified mechanism in 2009, to facilitate the creation of micro-enterprises, collect taxes and encourage affiliation of self-employed workers in the social security system. The Self-entrepreneur Scheme (Régime de l’auto-entrepreneur) allows anyone to create and register their own micro-enterprise on a web portal. 911,000 micro-enterprises have been registered till date.
