MYM Taxes: Status, SIRET and Declaring Income
Written by Sophia Brecht Published Last updated
Taxes on MYM income are the creator’s to declare. MYM collects VAT from fans in the EU and sends you income statements, but it does not tell you which status to choose. Every account starts as personal, and a SIRET is needed only if you switch to a professional account. This guide reports what MYM publishes, checked on 30 September 2026. It is not tax advice.
MYM’s tax information covers France only, and we say below where it stops.
Do you need a SIRET to sell on MYM?
No. MYM makes every new account personal by default and asks for a company number only when a creator moves to professional status: a SIRET or SIREN in France, a registration certificate and, for French companies, a VAT number. The contract leaves the decision with you, saying it is “for the creator to decide whether they act professionally”.
Which status fits your income is a question of French law and of your own situation. MYM does not answer it; the help centre’s status article (in French) describes what each status requires.
What changes with a professional MYM account?
Mostly paperwork. Every payout MYM makes must come with a compliant invoice from you, and a French business registered for VAT adds 20% VAT to that invoice. Switching is not retroactive.
| Personal account | Professional account | |
|---|---|---|
| Status on sign-up | Default | Chosen by the creator afterwards |
| Company number | Not asked for | SIRET or SIREN in France |
| Registration certificate | Not asked for | Required |
| VAT number | Not asked for | Required for French companies |
| Invoice with each payout | No | Yes, a compliant invoice |
| VAT on payouts | Not applicable | 20% added by French VAT-registered businesses |
| Covers earlier earnings | Not applicable | No |
The amounts shown in the MYM dashboard are net. Separately, MYM can invoice fans on your behalf: those invoices are issued by Air Medias SAS in the name of your creator pseudonym.
What does MYM say about taxes for French creators?
It points you to official sources and stops there. The help centre’s tax article (in French) links to impots.gouv.fr, to URSSAF and to the French government’s guide for influencers, and warns that the information “concerns France only”.
MYM does not recommend micro-entreprise status, a company, or either of the two income categories French creators ask about, BNC and BIC. The only hint sits in the web address of the URSSAF page it links to, which is the page on declaring BNC or mixed income. That is a link, not advice from MYM, and we would not read a choice of status into it. Searches such as “auto entrepreneur mym” and “mym urssaf” show that creators ask exactly this; an accountant or URSSAF itself can answer it for your case.
MYM does name an accounting partner: Dougs, an online accountant that offers creators declaring in France three months free, with plans from €49 a month before VAT.
What records does MYM give you for declaring income?
A monthly summary on the 15th of each month and an annual statement on 15 January, which MYM’s terms describe as a gross total for the year. Keep both with your bank statements for whoever prepares your return.
Whether MYM also reports creator income to tax authorities, for example under the EU’s DAC7 rules for platforms, is not stated in any MYM document we read.
Does MYM handle VAT on your sales?
On fan purchases, yes. You set prices before VAT, and MYM adds VAT at checkout according to the fan’s country and pays it to the state, so that VAT never passes through your earnings. Your own VAT position as a business is a separate matter, and the knock-on effect of fan VAT on bank fees is shown in MYM fees.
What if you live outside France?
MYM publishes no tax guidance for other countries. Its help centre says only that tax and social rules vary from one country to another, so creators in Belgium, Switzerland or anywhere else get nothing country-specific from MYM.
What you can do is the same anywhere: keep the monthly and annual statements with your payout records, and ask a local accountant how income from a French platform, paid in euros, is taxed where you live. MYM payouts covers the payout side, including the €100 minimum for bank accounts outside the SEPA zone.
Who should check your MYM tax position?
An accountant, or the tax office where you live. Nothing on this page is tax advice; it reports what MYM published as of 30 September 2026, and tax rules and MYM’s terms both change.
If you work with an agency, its commission is a separate cost with its own invoice. At Bunny Agency, MYM pays the creator directly and we invoice our commission afterwards, so your records show both sides (our pricing sets out the terms). If you have not opened an account yet, how to become a MYM creator covers certification, which is where the personal or professional choice first comes up.
