Question 10883 — Agricultural social mutuality

Summary

Mr. Hubert Brigand draws the attention of the Minister of Agriculture, Agri-Food and Food Sovereignty to the difficulties encountered by many agricultural policyholders in terms of social contributions, due to the principle of compulsory annual contributions to the Mutualité sociale agricole (MSA) and the double payment of contributions for people carrying out several activities under different regimes. In Indeed, unlike the scheme managed by the URSSAF, which applies a calculation proportional to the actual duration of activity, the MSA maintains a minimum annual contribution requirement, including when the activity ceases during the year. This specificity creates a manifest inequality of treatment between agricultural contributors and other self-employed workers, since a farmer having ceased his activity in the spring or summer remains liable for the full annual contributions, without possibility of immediate adjustment. Furthermore, many workers today are multi-active: farmers also carrying out a salaried, artisanal or liberal activity. These people often have social contributions levied twice for the same risks (illness, retirement, family allowances), without their rights being doubled. This The phenomenon of double contribution without dual rights generates real social injustice and can discourage the resumption or maintenance of complementary activities, which are nevertheless necessary in a context of economic fragility in the rural world. Also, he asks him to kindly indicate to him if the Government intends to initiate a harmonization of the method of calculation and recovery of social contributions between the MSA and the URSSAF, in order to establish a principle of proportionality to the time of activity, and if it considers the establishment of a coordination mechanism between schemes to avoid double contribution of multi-active workers without correlative benefit in terms of social rights; these developments would in fact be likely to restore fairness between socially insured persons, to support multi-activity and to restore confidence among farmers and self-employed agricultural workers in the justice of the social protection system.
