Publié le 03 avril 2026 - Entreprendre Public Service / Directorate of Legal and Administrative Information (Prime Minister)
The balance of the apprenticeship tax (AT), declared and paid by the employer in the April DSN, aims to develop initial technological and vocational training as well as professional integration. The 2026 calendar for the campaign to distribute this balance has just been published.

In order to help finance institutions supporting professional integration, the remaining portion of the VAT paid in May by the employer is paid to the institutions and training of its choice.
