Practical Guide — Doing Business in Biarritz / Basque Country
Everything you need to know about doing business in Biarritz / Basque Country
Digital nomad ecosystem in Biarritz
Biarritz has become a popular destination for digital nomads thanks to quality of life, coworking spaces and French Tech Bayonne-Biarritz-Anglet. Freelancers can opt for auto-entrepreneur status (micro-BNC, threshold €83,600) or SASU. The auto-entrepreneur regime offers management simplicity with social contributions of 21.1-23% of revenue. We support digital nomads in their status choice and tax optimization.
Basque tourism and hospitality taxation
Tourism represents a major part of the Biarritz economy. Managing seasonality (summer/winter) impacts cash flow. Reduced VAT rates (10% for hospitality, 5.5% for catering) apply. The simplified real regime or micro-BIC regime applies depending on turnover. We optimize your seasonal management and tax obligations.
Cross-border France-Spain activity
Proximity to Spain (20 min from Biarritz to San Sebastián) creates cross-border opportunities. Basque entrepreneurs working with Spanish clients must manage intra-community VAT, declaration obligations and the France-Spain double taxation treaty. We secure your international operations and optimize your taxation.
Real estate investment in the Basque Country
The Basque real estate market is among the most expensive in France (average price €4,500/m² in Biarritz). The LMNP status under the real regime allows depreciating the property and furnishings, reducing taxation on rents. Rental demand is driven by tourism (short-term rentals) and cross-border workers. We structure your investment to maximize profitability.
