Boiling a frog Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Just to clarify the contribution level for CMU B (affiliation to the French Health Service)The contribution is 8% of your net income(your revenue fiscal de reference) minus an allowance, currently 9164€ .Thus, if your income is €20,000 a year you deduct the CMU threshold of €9,164. This leaves €10,836 as the base figure used for calculating your 8% contribution to the CMU. This gives a premium of €867 pa for health insurance cover.

NormanH Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 I believe there would also be 6,6% CSG and 0,5% CRDS to pay (on the whole 20,000) if you have the CMUi.e about another 1400€ on a pension of 20,000Vos revenus sont soumis à la CSG et à la CRDS si vous êtes : domicilié en France pour l'établissement de l'impôt sur le revenu, et à la charge, à quelque titre que ce soit, d'un régime obligatoire français d'assurance maladie. It is now collected by les impôts not by the Urssaf, so is declared on your French tax return, which means that some people who had never been 'on the radar' of the Ursaaf will now find themselves paying if they completed their déclaration correctly.

Boiling a frog Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 However, one does not pay CSG or CRDS on a Government Pension or on an Invalidity benefit which appears to be the case with the OP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NormanH Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 The exonérations are shown here http://vosdroits.service-public.fr/F17585.xhtmlpensions militaires d'invalidité et des victimes de guerre are certainly included.I am not so sure about Government Pensions if one has the CMU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cooperlola Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Grecian, it wasn't a broker but my top up company. However, I do know a broker reasonably well and had a long chat with him the other day when I was searching for insurance for my mobility scooter. He said that he would happily help if I needed any advice at any time so if you do get stuck then certainly, I can broach the subject with him when I get back in the autumn.
