How to Complete the 751-SD Form in 2025: Your "Professional Activity Questionnaire"?

Qlower has prepared a simple and effective guide to help you complete the 751-SD form for your LMNP (Non-Professional Furnished Rental) activity questionnaire in 2025.

 

After submitting your declaration of activity as an LMNP via the P0i or P2P4i form (for additions or modifications), you will receive your SIRET number from INSEE.

 

At the same time, or shortly thereafter, the Business Tax Service (SIE) will send you a “Professional Activity Questionnaire” or form 751-SD, requesting additional information to determine the CFE (Corporate Property Tax) amount owed by all LMNPs starting from the second year (subject to conditions).

What Is the 751-SD Form?

The 751-SD form is a document automatically sent by the tax administration once you have registered your LMNP activity.

 

The 751-SD form, or “Professional Activity Questionnaire,” is used to collect fiscal and administrative information about a professional activity. It is required when creating, modifying, or ceasing an activity and helps identify the applicable tax regime (VAT, income tax, etc.).

When Should You Send the 751-SD Form?

The 751-SD form must be sent primarily when creating, modifying, or ceasing a professional activity. Specifically, it applies in the following situations:

 

  • Creation of a business or LMNP status: When registering your LMNP with the Commercial and Companies Registry (RCS) or for an independent activity.
  • Change in professional situation: If you change your legal status, address, activity, or tax regime.
 

Cessation of activity: When you permanently cease your LMNP activity.

How Do You Submit the 751-SD Form?

The form can be submitted in several ways, depending on your situation and preferred method of communication with the administration:

  • By mail: Send it to your local Business Tax Service (SIE).
  • In person: Drop it off directly at your local tax office.
 

Step-by-Step Guide to Completing the 751-SD Form

Block 1: Business Identification

  • Provide your business details and the start date of your activity as listed on the P0i form.
  • For the closing date of the first fiscal year, we recommend entering December 31 of the current year. If your activity started mid-year, your first fiscal year will run from your start date to December 31. Subsequent fiscal years will automatically cover 12 months.
 

Example:

 

  • Start date: July 1, 2024 → Fiscal year-end: December 31, 2024 → First fiscal year = 6 months.
  • Next year: Full fiscal year from January 1, 2025, to December 31, 2025.

Block 2: Your Accountant

If you handle your own accounting (with Qlower as your assistant), leave this section blank.
If you are affiliated with an Approved Management Center (OGA), include its details here. Otherwise, leave it empty.

Block 3: Characteristics of Premises Used for Your Activity

Characteristics of Premises Used for Your Activity

If you carry out your furnished rental activity at your residence—for example, renting out your home while you’re away (e.g., short-term rental) or renting out part of it (e.g., a room for a student)—you must check the box and indicate the number of square meters used for the rental.

 

In the first example, this will be the total area of the apartment; in the second, the area of the rented room.

If you do not conduct your furnished rental activity at your residence, do not check the box and instead directly provide the following details, which are usually in your possession:

 

  • Address of the premises = Address of the property offered for rental
  • Location of the premises (building, floor)
  • Lot number in the co-ownership
  • Previous occupant
  • Total area of the premises in square meters
  •  

In the case of a furnished rental, the entire surface is dedicated to residential use. Therefore, transfer the “total area in m²” to the “Residential” line and enter 0 m² for the “Professional,” “Industrial,” and “Commercial” lines.

 

No professional use needs to be reported in the section dedicated to “areas for professional use.”

Bloc 3-2 751-SD
  • Check the “Owner” box.

  • Indicate if you also rent out parking spaces.


Personal residential property classified as “Tourist Furnished Accommodation”: if you own a guesthouse with tourism services (e.g., laundry, breakfast).

    • Personal residential property rented furnished other than those covered under points 1 and 2 of Article 1459 of the General Tax Code: for a “classic” furnished rental property.

    • Other property rented furnished: in all other scenarios.

    • On the line “If you are a furnished rental owner, specify the type of property rented,” only check the boxes in the following cases:

Block 4: Miscellaneous

No checkboxes need to be filled out for standard LMNP activities.

Block 5: Other or Additional Information

Include the following mention:

“Apartment intended for Non-Professional Furnished Rental.”

Final Steps

After submitting the completed questionnaire, you will receive a pre-filled 1447C-SD form, which will provide more detailed information about your activity to calculate your CFE (Corporate Property Tax).

This form is generally available on your professional account on impots.gouv.fr around November. If you do not receive it, you must complete and send it directly to your local SIE (Business Tax Service) for the rental property.

You can find your SIE address via this government service (select “Professional” then “General Tax Question” to obtain the email).

FAQ

What documents are required to complete the 751-SD form?

You will need your SIRET number, the P0i or P2P4i declaration, as well as information about the rental property, such as the address, surface area, and details about previous occupancy.

How should I choose the closing date for the first fiscal year of my LMNP activity?

It is recommended to set December 31 of the current year as the closing date for your first fiscal year. This allows for standardized annual fiscal years starting from the second year, simplifying administrative management.

 

How do I declare the characteristics of the rental property in the 751-SD form?
  • If you are renting part of your residence, specify the surface area in square meters of the rented section.
  • If you are renting a separate property, provide the total surface area, address, and specific details such as the floor, lot number, and nature of the premises.

 

The CFE (Corporate Property Tax) is due from the second year of activity for all furnished rental landlords. After submitting the 751-SD form, you will receive a pre-filled 1447C-SD form to detail your activity and establish the tax calculation base.

 

What is the difference between a "tourist accommodation" and a "standard furnished rental" in the 751-SD form?
  • Tourist accommodation: A classified property intended for short-term rental, often offering services like laundry or breakfast.
  • Standard furnished rental: A property rented with furniture but without additional services.

 

What should I do if I don’t receive the 1447C-SD form after submitting the 751-SD form?

If you don’t receive the 1447C-SD form, download it from your professional account on the impots.gouv website and submit it manually to the SIE (Business Tax Service).

Can I get an exemption from the CFE as a furnished rental landlord?

Some exemptions may apply, such as if your property is located in a rural revitalization zone or if your revenue is below a certain threshold. It is advisable to check these criteria with your SIE.

How can I find the address of the Business Tax Service (SIE) responsible for my property?

You can find the address of your SIE by visiting the government website, searching for the “Business Tax Service” section, and selecting the “General Tax Questions” option.

What are the risks of not declaring this form?

Failing to declare the 751-SD form can lead to:

  • Tax adjustments and financial penalties proportional to undeclared amounts.
  • Late payment interest on taxes owed.
  • Increased scrutiny from the tax administration.

Negative impacts on your financial reputation, potentially complicating access to credit.

How can I regularize my situation if I failed to declare?
  1. Assess the undeclared income and gather the necessary documents.
  2. Fill out a new declaration form.
  3. Contact the tax office to make a voluntary declaration, which may reduce penalties.
  4. Pay the taxes owed and any applicable late interest.
  5. Consider consulting an accountant for personalized advice.
