In France there are special rules for network marketing: companies have to pay social security contributions for their direct sellers and consultants.
Network marketing has proven to be a successful business model for many companies in recent years. Local direct sellers are an effective way to bring products to market. But watch out: in France they have what is known as VDI status.
According to this, the company for which he works has to pay social security contributions for him - even if the direct salesman independently advises a company and is not employed by him. The company is also responsible for registering its advisor correctly for tax purposes.
