Pluriactivity Bonus: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Musicians working both as employees and freelancers can reduce their social security contributions to avoid paying twice for the same coverage.
This scheme is a way for people with multiple types of employment to lower their social security costs. It is designed to prevent you from paying full contributions twice when you are working both as an employee and as a freelancer.
Who it's for
This is for musicians who hold two different types of work status at the same time. You qualify if you are working as a salaried employee (for example, by teaching) while also working as a freelancer.
What you get
You receive a reduction in your social security contributions. This helps ensure you are not paying double for the same social security coverage due to having multiple income streams.
What it costs you
There is no direct fee to receive this benefit, but you must provide documentation to prove your status. You will need to provide proof of your employment contract to show you are working as an employee alongside your freelance work.
The catch to know
This bonus is not applied to your account automatically. You must actively apply for it to receive the reduction.
How to apply
- Gather your current employment contract as proof of your salaried work.
- Prepare your freelance registration details.
- Submit your request through the official social security channels.
