An entrepreneur is considered any natural or legal person acting within the scope of their independent economic or professional activity.

As a taxpayer, an entrepreneur is legally obligated to pay taxes, fees, or social and health insurance contributions, as well as to withhold tax at source.

A tax regime is independent of the form of organization or the legal personality of a person with the status of a merchant.

The determining factor is the turnover realized during a tax period (calendar year).
