Competitiveness and Employment Tax Credit (CICE) in Mayotte

Verified 17 February 2025 - Legal and Administrative Information Directorate (Prime Minister), Ministry of Finance

Companies operated at Mayotte may benefit from a tax credit for competitiveness and employment applicable to lowest earnings.

Since 2019, for companies not operating in Mayotte, the CICE has been replaced by a reduction in employer contributions. This relief applies in 2 stages:

  • At first, it translates into a increase of the rate of general reduction in employers' contributions.
  • In a second step, it is translated by reduction of 6% of social contributions for sickness insurance for employees whose monthly gross remuneration is less than €4,504.50.

The CICE is calculated taking into account all remuneration paid in a year and not more than 2,5 times the Smic: titleContent.

The remuneration taken into account shall be that of the staff at full-time, part-time and part-year employees. For part-time employees or employees employed part-year, the amount of 2.5 Smic taken into account corresponds to the duration provided for in the contract.

In 2025, for a full-time period, the amount of the gross remuneration shall not exceed €4,504.50.

This tax credit is only for earnings that have been declared to social security and which are used for the calculation of employers' contributions (e.g. basic salaries, overtime or overtime payments, bonuses, holiday pay, benefits in kind).

The deadline for filing the return is one of the following:

The CICE can be used to pay income tax or business tax.

It must be used to pay the tax for the year for which the tax credit was paid. When the CICE is calculated on the basis of the remuneration of the year 2024, then it can be used for the tax due for the accounting year ended 31 December 2024.

When the tax credit is not fully used, then it can be used to pay the tax due over the next 3 years.

If after 3 yearsHowever, the entire tax credit could not be used, so the remaining portion is refunded to the company at his request.

The application for reimbursement must be made in one of the following ways:

  • If the company is subject to business tax (SI), it must apply for a refund using the form 2573-SD. It can be done in EFI or EDI mode.
  • If the company is subject to income tax (IR), it must apply for a refund using the Form 2042 C-PRO.

Some companies can get their tax credit refunded directly. These companies are as follows:

When the company gets a tax credit, it is said that it has a claim on the State. In other words, the government must pay the amount of the tax credit it receives.

The company may decide to assign that claim a credit institution, a financing business or an alternative investment fund to improve its liquidity. In that case, she no longer owns her tax credit. It is then the entity to which it assigned the claim that will benefit from the refund of the tax credit.

When the company that gave up its tax credit receives an immediate refund, then the entity to which it gave up its debt will get the refund. Similarly, for other companies, when the credit becomes refundable at the end of the three years, it is the entity to which the claim has been assigned that must apply for repayment.
