Article L123-28 of the French Commercial code

As an exception to the provisions of articles L. 123-12 to L. 123-23, natural persons benefiting from the regime defined in article 50-0 of the General Tax Code may not prepare annual accounts. They keep a book showing the amount and origin of the revenue they receive from their professional activity. When their main business is to sell goods, objects, supplies and foodstuffs to be taken away or consumed on the premises, or to provide accommodation, they also keep an annual summary register showing details of their purchases. A decree sets the conditions under which this book and register are kept.

Par dérogation aux dispositions des articles L. 123-12 à L. 123-23, les personnes physiques bénéficiant du régime défini à l’article 50-0 du code général des impôts peuvent ne pas établir de comptes annuels. Elles tiennent un livre mentionnant chronologiquement le montant et l’origine des recettes qu’elles perçoivent au titre de leur activité professionnelle. Elles tiennent également, lorsque leur commerce principal est de vendre des marchandises, objets, fournitures et denrées à emporter ou à consommer sur place, ou de fournir le logement, un registre récapitulé par année, présentant le détail de leurs achats. Un décret fixe les conditions dans lesquelles ce livre et ce registre sont tenus.
