Double "hat" for those who are paid a "block"

Starting in December, employees who receive a "block" will have a double contribution and will have a higher income in 2016 from 2015.

According to the announcement made yesterday by EFCA, the 2017 fee settlement for the above mentioned categories of policyholders was completed and between Friday, November 30 and Saturday, December 1, the corresponding notices will be posted.

According to EFCA, until Friday, December 7, the current contributions of all self-employed workers will have to be paid by October 2018.

This means that, on the same date, the first payment of retroactive contributions will be paid to those who are simultaneously employed and stranded with a debit balance from the previous year's contribution settlement.

A debit balance will appear for all those who reported in 2016 a higher income than in 2015 and who therefore made contributions lower than 2017 compared to what they would have been.

The difference between the contributions to be paid and the contributions paid must now be paid. It should be noted that the refund will be made in five equal monthly installments.

On the other hand, for someone who is also insured or paid with a "block" and a reported income lower than 2016 compared to 2015, a credit balance will appear. EFCA will therefore have to reimburse the difference between paid and paid contributions.

The basic condition for repayment of retroactive contributions is that the balance concerned is greater than EUR 50 and that the repayment beneficiary has no outstanding debts to the Funds.

If the credit balance is less than € 50, it will be deducted from future contributions. Finally, if there are debts, they will be deducted from the credit balance.
