Reduction in Social Insurance Charges for Small Business Owners

16th August 2022

The government are proposing to reduce the level of social security contributions payable by micro-entrepreneurs and other small business owners.

Business owners in France who use the micro-entreprise tax regime are liable for social insurance contributions on a fixed rate basis as a percentage of their turnover (not profit).

The level of the fixed rate depends on the nature of the business, whether commercial, trade or one of the liberal professions.
