Taxation :

The bed and breakfast activity falls under the tax regime of supplementary accommodation, and not that of furnished rentals.

Consequently, income must be declared for income tax under one of the following regimes:

Industrial and Commercial Profits (BIC): profits made by natural persons exercising a commercial profession;
Micro-enterprises (for auto-entrepreneurs), if your annual income does not exceed €188, the micro-BIC (micro-enterprise) regime applies.
The taxable profit is equal to the receipts less a standard allowance for costs of 71%. Expenses cannot be deducted;
Agricultural benefits for a farmer.

If your income is less than €305, you will not pay any tax.
