Study Notes

A written contract is mandatory before the collaboration and the first payments of the royalty.
The amount of the royalty corresponds to the fixed or proportional percentage determined by the holder of the practice, according to the value of the goods and services made available.
The collaborator will thus pay the owner a proportional percentage fee, indexed on his collected fees (or his revenues).
The duration of the payment must be explicitly stated in the contract, along with any renewal terms.
If the term is indefinite, then the parties may terminate the contract without cause, with a 3-month notice period.
If the duration is fixed, then the collaboration cannot be terminated before the expiry date written on the contract.
At the end of the contract, and if both parties wish to continue their collaboration, it will be possible to have a renewal clause.
The probationary period of 3 months, during which the collaborator and the holder of the contract can terminate their contract with a 15 days notice.
The collaboration fee is a mandatory payment that must be paid by the holder of a professional practice and the liberal collaborator who collaborates with him.
The fee is declared as part of the practice owner's business income and is subject to VAT.
The liberal collaborator must complete the DAS2 declaration and enter his collaboration royalties in his professional income tax return.
The associate and the practice owner must not engage in any unfair competition with their personal clientele/patients.
The associate must provide his or her own letterhead and shall not use the firm's letterhead with his or her personal clientele/patient base. They must also pay all expenses (administrative, postal, etc.) relating to their personal clientele/patient base.
The collaboration fee is a fee that a doctor charges their clients/patients in order to avoid unfair competition.
There are many rules surrounding the collaboration fee, and it is important to have a written contract in order to ensure that all parties are aware of the terms.
The collaboration fee can vary depending on the type of practice and the size of the practice.
