The rates, income bands and exemption limits that apply for social charges in 2022.
The social charges in France are called the prélèvements sociaux, often also referred to by expatriates as 'the second French income tax', although unlike income tax they are not progressive.
Neither, however, are they social security contributions (cotisations sociales), as there is no direct correlation with individual social benefits, but whilst the scope of social charges is wider, the political vocabulary that is adopted is largely semantics.
