Social contributions for the self-employed

People who are self-employed have to pay taxes. This includes craftsmen, farmers, self-employed tertiary workers who work in the field of computers and the Internet...

An annual declaration of income is therefore a necessity in order to be in good standing vis-à-vis the law.

The contributions of self-employed people include the general social contribution (CGS), the contribution to social reduction (CRDS), family allowances, disability-death, sickness-maternity, the contribution for vocational training, etc.

A precise calculation is made to know the taxes of each self-employed person. At first, it is not yet possible to know the annual income of each self-employed person. The calculation is then made on the basis of a fixed income which is fixed according to the nature of each person's activities. After 2 years, the average annual income is known. This becomes the base amount for calculating taxes for each self-employed person.

If, for 2 consecutive years, the self-employed person has not declared his income or has declared zero income, he will be deregistered RSI.
