Company Registration in France from India

Q: Can I manage my French company from India?

Yes, you can. While a physical presence might be beneficial, directorship does not require French residency. Non-EU/EEA citizens might need specific visas if they intend to reside in France for management.

Q: What is a SIREN and a SIRET number?

SIREN (9 digits): Unique identifier for the company as a whole, remains constant. SIRET (14 digits): Identifies each specific establishment/location of a company (SIREN + 5-digit NIC).

Q: Do I need a French national as a director?

No, directors can be of any nationality and reside anywhere. A non-EU/EEA national acting as a legal representative for more than 3 months might need a "Talent – Company director" residence permit.

Q: What are the tax implications for an Indian-owned French company?

Corporate Tax (IS): Standard rate of 25% on profits (reduced rate of 15% for small businesses on first €42,500). Territorial Economic Contribution (CET): Includes Business Property Tax (CFE) and Contribution on the Added Value of Companies (CVAE). Value-Added Tax (VAT): Standard rate of 20%. India-France DTAA: Prevents double taxation and may offer reduced withholding tax rates on certain income.
