Activity of Chambres d'hôtes (B&B) and gîte is experiencing a "boom" in recent years. On 1 January 2007 almost 37,000 rooms have been identified by various labels but nearly twice would be really exploited in 5000 against less than 20 years ago. This expansion takes place in the broader "green tourism" is due both to the desire for a return to nature and simplicity and that of the State to revitalize rural areas. It is first necessary to distinguish the guest room from other concepts: The lodging (gîtes): is a part of the house or a house with all the equipment necessary for a household (kitchen, shower ... etc). Le Gîte d’étape ou de groupe: specifically dedicated to hosting hikers (cycling, walking, riding ...) and their equipment. La Ferme auberge (Farm hostel) which assumes a farm with real activity and the hostel which is an extension of the activity, including benefits as farm produce. Camping at the farm where the farmer receives campers / caravans in a limited number on his land. Legal definition: The guest rooms are governed by the law of 14 April 2006 (art. 21) and the implementing decree published in the Official Journal of 4 August 2007. The legal definition is: "The guest rooms are tastefully furnished private houses located to accommodate tourists, whether for one or more nights, with benefits. " It implies that several conditions are met: be located in the residence of the person, be rented for one night (instead of weeks or months), be accompanied by benefits including the minimum breakfast and linen. The room must be furnished and include a bathroom (shower or bath with toilets), and be equipped with a heater. In addition to security, safety and hygiene must be ensured. Specific measures must be taken especially for swimming pools. On the other hand, the household must be provided daily by the locals. Prices must be posted at the door of the house, inside and behind the doors of rooms. In this respect recall that to maintain the quality of houses, a maximum of 5 rooms and 15 visitors are allowed. Beyond you pass under the status of hotel and you must meet the standards ERP (establishments receiving the public), much more severe. Finally, the host must be done by the person and not an employee. Since the 2007 decree, operators need to make a statement in city hall. The services must be made a note (or bill) and a sheet of police must be completed for foreign tourists in particular and be transmitted to the authorities the same day. To this activity of B&B, operators can also offer a meal in the form of table guests. This qualification requires that meals must be served only to visitors and in the form of a single menu. Moreover foods should preferably come from a farm and regional source. The conditions of hygiene, cleaning rooms and kitchens, food etc, are subject to the Order of 9 May 1995. Alcoholic beverages can be served only if you have the license ad hoc (small or large license). Safety standards: The law of 3 January 2003 and the decrees of 31 December 2003 and 8 June 2004, contain provisions for establishments serving the public and making use of a swimming pool: barrier, alarm system etc ... Taxation: Operators may choose to register in the commercial register if they are active as accessory, and must do so if they do so as principal (ie whether the main source of income). The resources required to declare on your tax form: DGCCRF and the Treasury can exercise controls. The tax applies depends on your annual turnover: You will be taxed under the BIC (Trade and Industry Profits) below HT € 76,300 annual rent for itself and HT € 27,000 for supplemental services (meals, services), you can choose the system of micro-enterprise and therefore you will not be subject to VAT and benefit from simplified accounts (flat-rate to 30% of operating expenses). Beyond these criteria income, you will spend in commercial tax, real or simplified, with accounting keep to determine the profit tax. It is sometimes possible to obtain grants but they cover only the shell and not the decorative elements and the aid will be paid after the execution of work. Gîtes: The lodgings are governed by the law of 2 January 1970 on seasonal rental (or leases not exceeding 90 consecutive days) The gîte is independent housing with outdoor spaces and located in a rural area for tourism (municipality of less than 2,000 inhabitants). The housing must meet the minimum requirements for furniture, insulation and security. Lavatories should be available to tenants. Beyond 6 rooms and / or 15 people, ERP standards apply. Prices must be displayed on the outside and inside the house, a police form must be completed for foreign clients and surrender the same day. In tax matters: The residents must register with the RCS (registry of commerce) if one hand he carries this activity as usual and if he provides other benefits than the rent: meals, bike rental, organization of visits ... Otherwise it is only required to declare income from its activities on its tax leaf (contact the local tax for formalities). It will not be subject to VAT if the turnover does not exceed € 76,300 annual HT and may benefit from micro-enterprise. In addition it will be exempted from business tax if the rented residence is not the primary / secondary house of his client but just a holiday rent. There are several networks of houses or gîtes to help and advise but also impose conditions for receiving more severe and longer monitored. In return it is often the insurance to receive a filling more consistent than operating a free-lance.
