Extended payment period for contributions

The Urssaf gives employers and the self-employed the possibility to obtain a period of payment of contributions (without penalties for delay) that can go up to 12 months (or even more in the case of a “special situation”).

It is mandatory to have paid your employee contributions to obtain this deadline.

Late payment penalties are canceled if the company complies with the payment deadline granted.

The self-employed can also:

• request a decrease in the provisional contribution amounts (the amount will then be discounted according to your actual income);
• request from the Urssaf a social welfare support from the Social Protection Council for the Self-Employed (CPSTI).

For any question or request for information, please contact the Urssaf:

• through the secure messaging of your account;
• by phone: au 3957 (free service + call price) for employers, at 3698 (free service + call price) for self-employed.
