rico Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 As early retirees here in France we have been using Private Health Insurance for the last 3 years and now under the 5 year residency rule have just gained access to the CMU with CPAM.We have just received a letter from CPAM saying they have studied our case and due to our income are liable for a payment under the 8% ruling which will be recoverable by URSAAF quarterly.The first quarter was for 01/07/13 - 30/09/13 but as yet no money has been taken from our account.Does anyone know if the money is taken automatically or do we have to contact URSAAF to set up some sort of account with them.have contacted CPAM but they are unsure.

NormanH Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 I don't know about the CMU, but the few of us who have to pay social charges (CSG etc) because we are à la charge of France (as opposed to those on S1s) no longer pay to the Urssaf, but instead declare on our income declaration and these charges are collected by the tax authorities.As those on the CMU are also à la charge of Franceit might well be the same in your case.I might add that some people who got into the CMU by paying 8% of their income 'forgot' to declare for the social charges ..

rico Posted August 13, 2013 Author Share Posted August 13, 2013 We have been paying the social charges for the past 3 years and as you say this has been via the tax route so perhaps we may have to declare this on the tax form somewhere, will have to have a look at the form. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EuroTrash Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Cotisations are a separate thing from the csg..Have you had an actual bill from URSSAF yet? If not I suspect you will get one in due course, which will tell you what to pay, when and how. I say this because I used to get these bills by mistake - I pay cotisations as an AE but before URSSAF got it sorted out, they kept sending me bills for cotisations.

JohnFB Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 URSSAF are notoriously slow to set things up. It took them nearly a year in my case. I just waited for them to bill me, as I had the Carte V and was being reimbursed. Eventually they got there.JFB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suein56 Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 [quote user="rico"]Thanks everyone for your comments, looks like we shall wait to be billed.[/quote]In the beginning getting bills from URSSAF can be a bit like waiting for a bus, you wait for ages and there is nothing and then 3 come at once.Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham & Brenda Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 If you haven't had a bill by, say, the end of September chase it up as they might try to charge you a majoration or late payment penalty - even though it is not your fault. You can then have the aggro of sorting that out too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
