From December, 38 million people will receive a tax-free premium of 100 euros net. The inflation allowance is intended for those who earn less than 2,000 euros net per month. Eco guest of franceinfo Thursday, November 4, Yann-Gaël Amghar, director of Urssaf, details the device.
For the employees concerned, it will be up to the companies to pay the compensation. Urssaf will then take care of compensating what they have paid: “The company will pay this compensation to the employees who are entitled to it and, the following month, it will declare the amounts it has paid and it will deduct them from what it has to pay in Urssaf contributions. This is how the Urssaf will ‘reimburse’ the company “.
For home-based workers, the situation is different. Individual employers will not have to take any action: “It is we, the Urssaf, who will pay this assistance to employees at home, in Cesu or in Pajemploi. For this, the employer will have nothing to do and the employee will only have to give us his bank details “.
For self-employed workers, Urssaf will also intervene directly: “The self-employed person will not have to do any calculations. It is the Urssaf which will determine which independents are entitled to this aid – nearly two million, and who will pay it to them. The self-employed person will have nothing to do, except give us his bank details “.
On the front line in the face of the crisis, Urssaf has enabled many companies to suspend the payment of their contributions. “Today, companies and the self-employed have 22.4 billion in debt vis-à-vis the Urssaf “, reveals Yann-Gaël Amghar, who notes an improvement: “This figure is declining, precisely because a number of employers and self-employed people have started to repay this debt. Just a month ago, we were 700 million above. It shows that it’s going down slowly “.
The organization continues to propose clearance plans: “The greater the debt, the more time we will give to regularize “. He explains that the Urssaf “gives these companies up to three years to pay “ and “that may even be beyond for the most affected sectors “. 600,000 clearance plans have already been put in place.
