Motherhood and Entrepreneurship
Giving birth is a significant moment for a self-employed entrepreneur. It brings joy, but also presents challenges in balancing family and business.
This may discourage some women from pursuing self-employment as their main career. To address this, the exemption from social contributions has been extended. Minister Simonet aims to genuinely support female entrepreneurship and make it easier for women to return to work.
Exemption from Social Contributions
To encourage this transition, the government agreement extends the existing exemption from social contributions, while maintaining social rights, for two quarters in the first quarter after giving birth.
This means you can continue to run your business for two additional quarters after your delivery, without worrying about social contributions or losing your social rights.
What about the accumulation of my social rights?
This exemption does not affect the accumulation of your social rights, such as retirement.
If you have a FCPSE, the exemption from social contributions after your delivery will not impact the tax deductibility of your FCPSE contribution.
