Frequently asked questions
Does Freelance Budget handle the French VAT (TVA) regimes?
Yes. Réel normal (monthly), réel simplifié (quarterly, default for most freelancers), and franchise en base (not subject) are all pre-configured with the correct deadlines (the 21st of M+1 for monthly/quarterly, 30 April of N+1 for annual).
Are URSSAF and CIPAV deadlines automated?
Yes. Quarterly payments are scheduled for January, April, July and October by default — matching the URSSAF calendar. The treasury projection knows the exact month each payment hits.
What about the mileage scale (barème kilométrique) for my professional travel?
The official scales for 2024, 2025 and 2026 are built in for both cars (3 to 7+ CV) and motorcycles. You log the trip, the app picks the right band based on fiscal power and total kilometers driven.
Which French legal company types are supported?
Micro-Entrepreneur, EURL, SASU, SARL and SAS — each with its default social rate (22% for Micro, 45% for the others) and VAT treatment. You can customize the rate per entity if your situation differs.
Can I manage several entities (a SASU and a Micro-Entrepreneur side by side)?
Yes — that's exactly what the Business plan is for. Up to 5 entities, switch in one click, consolidated stats across all of them.
