Siret number

If you are planning to rent out a furnished property in France or register as a self-employed individual, you may be required to register for a SIRET number before starting your rental activity.

In France, furnished rentals are generally treated as a commercial activity by the French tax authorities. This means that even if you are renting out a property as a private individual, there are administrative and tax registration requirements that need to be completed.

For most private property owners, this activity falls under the LMNP (Loueur en Meublé Non Professionnel) status, which can broadly be compared to a UK sole trader structure. Registering your activity allows the tax authorities to identify your rental business and determine how your rental income should be declared and taxed.

The registration process can sometimes feel confusing, especially for non-residents or first-time landlords. We can assist you with your SIRET application and guide you through each step to ensure your rental activity and your work activity are correctly registered and compliant with French requirements.
