Service à la Personne (SAP) is a French tax benefit program that allows your clients to receive a 50% tax credit on in-home coaching services.
This is a massive selling point that can help you:
✅ Close more sales (clients effectively pay half price!)
✅ Justify higher rates for home coaching
✅ Stand out from non-SAP certified coaches
✅ Build trust with official government certification
💡 Key Insight: Unlike a tax deduction, a tax credit means your clients get 50% back even if they don't pay taxes. It's universal!
Prerequisites: Before You Start
Before using the SAP feature, you need:
Requirement | Where to Get It | Why It Matters |
SAP certification number | Prefectural authority (DIRECCTE) | Legal requirement to offer SAP services |
Home coaching services | Your service offerings | Only in-home sessions qualify |
French clients | Your client base | Only French tax residents benefit |
