Can‘t speak for France but in Germany companies and self employed pre-pay taxes. Say you made 200k profit gross in 2018, it was your first year of operation. Your tax rate is 42%. We keep it simple, Freiberufler, no Gewerbesteuer. You filed the tax return in May 2019. your tax gets calculated and you have to pay 84k. You will have to pay only in 2020. But here‘s the catch. Finanzamt will assume you operate throughout 2019 at the same level as 2018. so they take 2*84k as a pre-payment for 2019 from you AND every quarter of 2020 they ask you to pay a quarter of 84k as a pre-payment for 2020. I assume they will not ask for those pre-payments. That will help a lot. |
