Hi, I am currently covered and have a Carte Vitale through my e106, which is valid until Jan 2011. However, I have recently started doing some part time home based work for which I intend to register as AE to pay my taxes etc. My question is; if I register as an AE now will my current E106 cover be cancelled - and could I potentially end up with less health cover than at present? Also can I back date my declared earnings? So if I don't register until August do I just declare what I have earned from now until then?

Hope you can help

Thanks

AnOther is right. However, you should not have any less cover as an AE than from an E106. I moved to France just before the AE became available so never bothered to register my E106. I have had full standard cover including reimbursement of doctor and dentist fees plus pharmacy costs (all at 70% if I remember rightly) plus I get 100% cover on two ALDs. These have included 8 weeks in hospital, two operations and assorted home and out-patient tests and treatments.

Sometimes it can be a pain getting transferred from CPAM to another caisse. My wife has been in limbo for a few weeks now trying to sort this out -- and she's French.

Nope! Not sensibly anyway. For a start, she would have to pay tax and cotisations on what she pays you as it would form part of her turnover. None of the cotisations would be credited to you so you wouldn't get any healthcare or other (!?!) benefits.

If this is likely to be more than a one-off why not register yourself as an AE as well. Then the clients could pay you directly. Although AE is a big improvement over previous French rules it still isn't as simple and flexible as running a small business in Britain.

It shouldn't be a problem. I believe that it may depend on which earns you the most money that decides which caisse you come under.

My wife is an AE and also works for an association under cheque emploi associative. She was originally covered for health care via CPAM but she has been transferred with effect from the beginning of this year to RSI -- the AE caisse. Due to the wonders of French bureaucracy it took several months for her dossier to be moved from CPAM to RSI, but she now has an attestation from RSI.
