A self-employed person, as well as a person who does not work but has an income, must pay advance contribution payments by the 15th of each month. The rate of the monthly payments is determined according to an assessed income.

Due to the coronavirus crisis, the date of advanced payment for the month of March regarding self-employed workers has been postponed to May 15, 2020 (instead of April 20, 2020).The self-employed who saw a decrease in their income in the wake of the coronavirus crisis, may apply for a cut in their advance payments to the National Insurance Institute.
