Declarative Obligations

A company's legal obligations, tax obligations, and social obligations depend on its legal structure or tax regime and the social status of its directors. The company’s accounting, tax and regulatory obligations depend on them.

Tax Obligations

Companies must comply with their tax obligations, such as declaring profits and filing for VAT. Entities are taxed on their realized profits. They must file the proper declarations and make payments.

Key mandatory declarations include:

Tax return (liasse fiscale)

Income tax declaration
