Paying the apprenticeship tax (France only)

Paying the apprenticeship tax (France only)

Employers in France are required to pay an apprentice tax. Legislation passed in 2020 simplified the payment process.
The tax is equivalent to 0.68% of the payroll, broken down as follows:

- one part equal to 87% of the tax is collected by URSSAF and paid over to France Compétences. It is used to finance national apprenticeship schemes
- one part equal to 13% of the tax is paid directly to certified establishments to provide support

You can now pay this part (13%) of the apprenticeship tax directly to the Saint-Étienne School of Economics.

How does it work?
- Calculate the amount you owe under the 13% part. This is calculated based on the payroll for the previous financial year.
- Send your contribution (by cheque or bank transfer) to the Saint-Étienne School of Economics before the end of May.
