3. I am under 18, can I become an influencer?

Post by Dimaeiya333 »

Note: If I already have another business as a sole proprietor and I also want to have my influencer/content creator business as a sole proprietor, I must merge my influencer/content creator business with my first business as a sole proprietor.

As more and more minors are being photographed by influencers, those under 16 will benefit from the protective provisions of labour law governing the employment of minors (such as child models). In essence, prior authorisation will be required and income from this activity will be guaranteed protection until they reach the age of majority.

If I am under 16 years of age , I can be employed by a company engaged in lobbying activities. Prior government approval is required and 90% of the money you receive from lobbying will be held on deposit until you reach the age of majority.

If I am over 16 and under 18 but not emancipated, I have two options:

I can set up and manage a sole proprietorship or take over and manage a sole proprietorship limited liability company that carries out this activity, with the authorization of my legal representatives (parents or family council), w chief of vp and training email database ho will have decision-making power over certain actions ;
I can be hired by a company that exercises commercial influence, provided that my legal representatives (parents or family council) give me permission and sign my employment contract .
If I am over 16 and emancipated, I can act as an adult.

4. How do I declare my activity as an influencer/content creator?
When I start my activity as an influencer, I declare the creation of my company on the one-stop shop for business procedures at this address : formalites.entreprises.gouv.fr . I can do this at the earliest one month before the start of the activity and at the latest 15 days after the start. This office will transmit my declaration to the competent authorities, which will allow me to obtain a SIREN or SIRET number, essential for future tax and social security procedures. Depending on your situation, you may belong to one of the following categories:

If my content creation activity is aimed at promoting goods or services in exchange for a financial or in-kind benefit , I register my activity in the one-stop shop in the category “service activities – information services – influencer and creator”. My activity is commercial (I am registered in the Commercial and Business Register and in the National Business Register), my income is declared as BIC and I am affiliated with URSSAF-SSI;
If the purpose of my content creation activity is not the promotion of goods or services in exchange for financial or in-kind benefits , I register my activity in the one-stop shop in the category “Service activities – information services – community manager, web ergonomist, professional blogger, web editor”. My activity is self-employed (I am registered only in the national register of companies), my income is declared as BNC and I am affiliated with the URSSAF-SSI;
If my content creation activity is an artistic creation activity , I register my activity in the one-stop shop in the category “Service activities – Arts, culture and shows – Creative, artistic and performing arts activities – Videographer, vlogger, blogger”. My activity is self-employed (I am registered only in the national business register), my income is declared as BNC or is deducted by a third-party distributor and I am affiliated, after validation, to the social security scheme for artists and authors.
The website entreprendre.service-public.fr offers all the information you need to prepare for the creation of your company, choose your statute and register it.

5. How do I comply with my tax and social security obligations?
In order to carry out my tax and social security procedures, I need to create a professional space on the impots.gouv.fr portal . This free and secure professional space allows me to declare and pay the main company taxes , submit refund requests, consult my company's tax account and carry out my online procedures (information, complaints, etc.) via a secure messaging system.

My tax category, my tax regime and the tax returns I have to make : I am referring to the Livret fiscal du créateur d'entreprise:
My social security regime and the social declarations I must make : I refer to the specific service of the Urssaf
If I remain part of my parents' tax household, they will be responsible for reporting my inco
