Last declaration 2023 before full transition to DSN

Published on 6 December 2022

The countryside DADSU 2023 on wages 2022 will be the last DADSU campaign. All private and public sector companies will be required to submit the NSN declaration.

The Nominal Social Declaration (DSN) replaces the annual unified social data declaration (DADS-U) in most companies. However, a number of employers must continue to complete the U-DADS.

Employers who must file an annual unified social data declaration (DADS-U) are:

  • Employers completing the Nominal Social Declaration (NSD) but employing people outside the NSD perimeter (examples: fishermen, dockers, officials on secondment to a private establishment)
  • Establishments completing the NSN that were unable to transmit complementary bodies (CBs) in the DSN

Warning  

all other employers must make a registered social declaration (DSN).

In the event of delay, omission or inaccuracy of the declared data, the employer may pay a penalty equal to €55 per employee up to €750 by declaration.

If the delay exceeds 1 month, an identical penalty shall be applied for each month or fraction of a month of delay.

The DADS-U shall contain the following elements:

  • Identification of employer and employee
  • Characteristics of employment and employment contract
  • Period of employment
  • Remuneration received in the previous year
  • Contributions (and contribution bases) to cover entitlements to old-age and sickness insurance

The U-DADS must indicate one of the following 3 grounds for filing:

  1. EX: DSN-filling employer with populations excluded from the DSN scope
  2. NO: Employer not required to complete the NSD
  3. OC: employer who did not submit data from CB (complementary bodies) in the DSN

A company that has payroll software that meets the 4DS standard (electronic data interchange) "EDI") shall file the DADS-U online:
