Extended payment period for contributions

The Urssaf gives employers and self-employed workers the opportunity to obtain a period of payment of contributions (without late penalties) that can go up to 12 months (or even more in case of a « special situation »).

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

Late payment penalties are waived if the company complies with the payment deadline.

Self-employed persons may also:

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

• through the secure messaging of your account;
