Report for employees at home

For individuals, employers, the implementation of the levy source has already been delayed a year. This is, in fact, that from 2020 they will be required to calculate, collect and remit to the Treasury the tax on the wages they pay to their employees.

The centers Pajemploi or Cesu will require, in addition to the social contributions, the tax that they will pay over to the tax authorities.
