France abolished the social charges

The court of the European Union called on France to reimburse the non-resident social charges (contribution sociale widespread, CSG and contribution au remboursement de la dette sociale, CRDS) in February 2015, when the precedent was created by the citizen of the Netherlands. In late July, the Supreme administrative court of France confirmed this decision, the website of Le Figaro.

Social charges established by the law on budget for 2012. Their rate is 15.5 %. These fees are added to the tax on capital gains when selling property and tax on income from employment. Before social charges paid by all regardless of citizenship. Now non-residents, who do not have social security, are exempt from fees. However, French citizens will continue to pay them.

Non-residents who paid social charges, can appeal to return funds to the tax office at the place of registration in France until December 31, 2015.
