IMPORTANT NEWS FOR AUTOENTREPRENEURS

It was announced yesterday that the French government wants to cancel the Autoentrepreneur status.

As most of us ELT teachers are AE, it means we will have to register as a company and probably pay higher tax and possibly at a fixed rate regardless of how much we earn. I'm no Economist but this is seriously bad news for the teaching industry. As French unis and schools are reliant on AE employees, well, they are going to have problems and we teachers will need to earn a lot more than we do now.
