Sole trader result return (2031 or 2035)
An entrepreneur individuel at the régime réel files a result return each year: form 2031 for BIC income, or form 2035 for BNC income. The result is carried to the owner's personal income tax return, which is a separate filing.

Who this applies to
- An EI at the réel simplifié or réel normal
- An EI that moved from micro to réel
- Not a micro-entrepreneur, who files no result return
What to file
Form 2031 with annexes 2033-A to G at the réel simplifié (BIC), or form 2035 with its annexes for BNC. The result then goes on the 2042-C-PRO of the income tax return.
How to file
Online and electronic only, through the espace professionnel (EFI) at the simplified regime, or by EDI through an expert-comptable. AccountsOS prepares the result from the ledger and does not file it. The income tax return has its own date, published each year.
Payment due
Income tax on the result is paid through the prélèvement à la source: instalments taken by the DGFiP on the 15th of each month, or each quarter if chosen. Micro-entrepreneurs with the versement libératoire are outside it.
Penalties for missing this deadline
A late return carries surcharges set by the CGI. Filing on paper when electronic is required carries a penalty.

- Close the books for the year
