Frequently asked questions
Who is considered self-employed (TNS) in France? ▾
The majority manager of an SARL, the sole shareholder of an EURL, or a sole trader (EI). Their charges are calculated directly on their declared professional income.
Who is considered "assimilé salarié" (employee status)? ▾
The president of an SASU or SAS, whether sole shareholder or not. They contribute to the general social security scheme like a regular employee, but without mandatory unemployment insurance.
Why does employee status cost more? ▾
It comes with social protection closer to that of a regular employee (better supplementary pension, more favourable sick pay), which costs more in contributions.
