Single contribution to vocational training (training contribution)

The contribution is calculated on the gross wage bill. That is to say, the total amount of taxable remuneration and benefits in kind paid to staff during the year, including salaries, employee contributions, bonuses, bonuses, allowances and tips.

Some branches of industry may set higher rates.

The company that has reached or exceeded 11 employees for the first time from 2018 remains subject to the 0.55% for this year and the following 4 years.

From now on, a company that crosses the threshold of 11 employees will only be subject to the applicable company rate for 11 or more employees if this number remains greater than or equal to 11 employees for 5 consecutive years.

Thus, a company that crosses the 11-employee threshold in 2020 will not be subject to the 1% from 2025 onwards if the number of staff remains at or above 11.
