What is a PSPSE?
- maximise tax breaks straightaway: you can
deduct all the premiums invested as business expenses and,
according to your income, recuperate up to 50% of such amount
- reduce your social security
contributions: as your premiums are tax-deductible, the
professional income which serves as the basis to calculate your
social security contributions will also drop.
- gradually build up a sound nest egg for your
future.
Who is it for?
- Those whose main status is self-employed
- Those whose supplementary status is
self-employed
- Starter businesspeople
- Assisting spouses.
In concrete terms
- the amount of your premiums: from a
minimum of 50* euros/month to a maximum of 231.75* euros/month. It
is possible to pay a premium which is lower than the minimum
threshold for the first 3 years of your business (for those
starting up) and for assisting spouses.
- how often you pay: monthly, quarterly,
six-monthly or annually.
* Amounts for the 2009 tax year and provided your annual
premium does not exceed 8.17% of the net income taken into account
to calculate your social security contributions.
