We’re delighted by your enthusiasm for our referral program, which perfectly reflects Green Nation’s community- and eco-friendly spirit. To ensure everything is clear and transparent, here are some essential details regarding the tax declaration of the referral bonuses you have received.
Why Declare Your Referral Bonuses?
If you are a French tax resident, the referral bonuses you receive—ranging from €20 to €50 per referred friend—are considered income by the tax authorities. In accordance with Article 92 of the French General Tax Code (Code général des impôts), these amounts fall under the category of non-commercial profits (Bénéfices non commerciaux, or BNC) and must be declared as such. The good news is that you will not owe any tax as long as your annual income from these bonuses remains at or below €305.
