Practical Guide — Doing Business in Strasbourg
Everything you need to know about doing business in Strasbourg
Intra-community VAT and cross-border trade
Strasbourg, a European crossroads, requires perfect mastery of intra-community VAT. Companies exporting to Germany, Switzerland or Luxembourg must comply with specific declaration obligations (DEB, DES). The self-assessment regime and intra-community VAT numbers are daily concerns. We secure your cross-border operations and optimize your European taxation.
Business creation aid and Alsatian ecosystem
The Grand Est Region and Strasbourg Eurometropolis offer business creation support: honor loans via Initiative Alsace, innovation aid from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF). The Alsace French Tech network supports tech startups. The Future Vehicle Competitiveness Cluster and BioValley France are levers for innovative projects.
Local taxation and CFE in Strasbourg
The CFE in Strasbourg is calculated based on the rental value of your professional premises. City Centre and Esplanade neighborhoods, high real estate value zones, involve higher bases. Domiciliation in a Strasbourg business center or European Quarter coworking space controls this cost while maintaining a prestigious address.
Cross-border worker payroll and Alsatian specifics
Alsace has over 80,000 frontier workers. Their payroll management involves international tax conventions (France-Germany, France-Switzerland), specific social contributions and cross-border declarations. The Alsatian-Mosellan local law also brings particularities (additional public holidays, religious regime). We master these complex issues.

How do I manage intra-community VAT for my Strasbourg business?

How can I optimize my cross-border worker payroll?
