As RMC indicated on Tuesday, the government will come to the aid of the self-employed and auto-entrepreneurs whose activity is penalized by the fifth wave of Covid-19. Jean-Baptiste Lemoyne, Minister Delegate for SMEs, announced this Wednesday to AFP that the latter will benefit from reductions in social security contributions and “exceptional financial assistance”.
The government has decided to put in place “a safety net for the self-employed who have worked little or not at all because of health restrictions”, he said, as a demonstration took place in front of the ministry of l ‘Economy and Finance, at the call of several organizations of independents.
Hotels, bars, restaurants, travel agencies, live shows, sports clubs…
There will be “two types of devices: on the one hand, a reduction in social security contributions for December and January according to terms specific to their status”, indicated Mr. Lemoyne.
Thus those who lose more than 65% of turnover will be able to deduct from their activity for the first quarter of 2022 the turnover achieved in December and January.
And if their drop in turnover goes from 30 to 65%, still for December and January, they will be able to deduct half of the turnover achieved from their activity in the first quarter, specified the Minister Delegate.
The auto-entrepreneurs concerned by this aid are those in the S1 and S1 bis sectors, which includes hotels, bars, restaurants, travel agencies, performing arts, sports clubs, museums, casinos, production of films, indicated Jean-Baptiste Lemoyne.
