Self-employed individuals, by contrast, have many more questions on the matter. How can they get social security, what coverage can they expect, and what will it cost them now? For answers, we spoke with Ma\u00eetre Louisa Silcox, a barrister specialised in labour law with the firm Arendt\u00a0&amp; Medernach.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h2_0\" >How should we define a \u201cself-employed\u201d person? Do the EU\u2019s \u201cliberal professions\u201d fall into this category too?<\/h2>\n<p>The simplest definition of a self-employed person is someone who works for themselves. Luxembourg only recognises two categories of worker: employees and self-employed people. The major difference is that one works under an employer, while the other doesn\u2019t. This hierarchical aspect is essential, as other intermediate categories do exist in the countries that border Luxembourg. Acting partners who hold more than 25% of their company\u2019s stock or managing directors (depending on the legal form of the business) may also be treated like self-employed individuals. Legally, a worker who pays social security as self-employed can <a href=\"https:\/\/my-life.lu\/en\/everything-you-need-to-know-about-combining-business-activities-56023\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>simultaneously hold different roles<\/strong><\/span><\/a> as both an executive and an employee with the same company, as long as their roles at that company involve different functions.<\/p>\n<p>In particular, this category may include workers in the liberal professions, such as doctors, architects, pharmacists and lawyers.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h2_1\" >What does social security cover in Luxembourg, and is it the same for employees and the self-employed?<\/h2>\n<p>Social security benefits for the two categories are virtually identical. Because self-employed workers are required to pay into social security, they also have a right to monetary benefits for parental leave, a pension, and even early retirement. They are also guaranteed unemployment benefits, as long as they meet the <a href=\"https:\/\/guichet.public.lu\/en\/citoyens\/travail-emploi\/chomage\/indemnite-chomage\/indemnite-chomage-independant.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>relevant criteria<\/strong><\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11426\" src=\"https:\/\/my-life.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Article_24008_3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"863\" height=\"574\" srcset=\"https:\/\/my-life.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Article_24008_3.jpg 1941w, https:\/\/my-life.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Article_24008_3-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/my-life.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Article_24008_3-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/my-life.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Article_24008_3-1024x681.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/my-life.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Article_24008_3-1080x718.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/my-life.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Article_24008_3-395x262.jpg 395w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>To receive benefits if they become unable to work, self-employed individuals can pay into the employers\u2019 mutual insurance fund.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The difference between employee and independent status is most apparent when it comes to coverage in the event of illness or physical disability, as self-employed workers aren\u2019t covered by default. To receive benefits if they become unable to work, self-employed individuals can pay into the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mde.lu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>employers\u2019 mutual insurance fund<\/strong><\/span><\/a> \u2013 but this is neither compulsory nor automatic. It has to be requested when registering for social security with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ccss.lu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>CCSS<\/strong><\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h2_2\" >What specifically do self-employed workers have to do to get social security benefits?<\/h2>\n<p>First, they have to register as self-employed with the CCSS by filling out the affiliation form especially for that status. If the person has founded a company to run their activities through, they have to declare it, and declare themselves as employed with that company. After checking that they meet the entry criteria, the CCSS will grant them the right to receive social security benefits\u00a0\u2013 provided, of course, that they continue to pay their contributions throughout the life of the business. Remember that an employer is responsible for paying its share of this contribution for each employee, plus the tax withheld on their salaries. By contrast, self-employed individuals are only required to declare and pay their full social security contribution (meaning the employer\u2019s and the employee\u2019s share together), based on their commercial pre-tax revenue.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>In addition to the CCSS, self-employed professionals working but not living in Luxembourg have to register for health insurance in their country of residence.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11423\" src=\"https:\/\/my-life.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Article_24008_2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"863\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/my-life.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Article_24008_2.jpg 1940w, https:\/\/my-life.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Article_24008_2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/my-life.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Article_24008_2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/my-life.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Article_24008_2-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/my-life.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Article_24008_2-1080x720.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In addition to the CCSS, self-employed professionals working but not living in Luxembourg have to register for health insurance in their country of residence.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h2_3\" >How are social security contributions for self-employed workers calculated?<\/h2>\n<p>Contributions are calculated on all of the independent worker\u2019s income: from their professional activities of course, but also other income (any additional wages or rents, for example). The smallest calculation base is the same as for Luxembourg\u2019s legal minimum wage, while the largest is five times that.<\/p>\n<p>One practical thing to note is that when you first register with the CCSS, they will automatically set the current minimum wage for the calculation while they wait to learn your real revenue, based on the tax report issued by the ACD, Luxembourg\u2019s tax office. At that point, self-employed workers have to communicate how much they actually earned so that their social security payments can be recalculated based on this information. That\u2019s why we strongly suggest that they adjust their reported income in the interim, as soon as they\u2019re in a position to estimate it, to avoid recalculation with a much higher contribution once the ACD releases the final tax statement.<\/p>\n<p>If their income is lower than Luxembourg\u2019s minimum wage, it\u2019s also possible to have the payments reduced. If it\u2019s lower than one\u00a0third of the minimum wage, you can even request to be exempted from paying altogether.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h2_4\" >Is it required or recommended for self-employed workers to pay into any programmes other than social security?<\/h2>\n<p>As mentioned previously, self-employed workers can voluntarily pay into the employers\u2019 mutual insurance fund to cover some risk, like an illness or disability that prevents them from working. To do this, they simply have to inform the CCSS that they wish to, and the employers\u2019 mutual insurance fund will handle the request. These payments are based on income too, but also on the person\u2019s age. In addition, there are supplementary pension and insurance funds that self-employed workers can use, just like employees. I would say these are always nice to have, but they\u2019re not a must-have.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h2_5\" >What specialised organisations can people turn to for more information on this subject?<\/h2>\n<p>Self-employed workers can consult the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdm.lu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Chamber of Trades<\/strong><\/span><\/a> (for skilled craftspeople), the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cc.lu\/en\/home\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Chamber of Commerce<\/strong><\/span><\/a> (for commercial and industrial professions) or the relevant professional association \u2013 or the CCSS, of course. Lawyers are in a good position to answer these questions too, and can assist companies and independent professionals with the legal and administrative side of social security. Luxembourg also has a large population of cross-border workers who need this information. We are here, and would be happy to answer any questions they may have.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Because employers are the ones responsible for managing and paying social security, their employees rarely have to worry about it.
