CSG (Contribution Sociale Généralisée)
The CSG (Contribution Sociale Généralisée) is a social contribution levied in France on various types of income, including wages. The revenue generated by this contribution is used to finance the French social security system.
For employees, the CSG is deducted directly from their salary through payroll processing. As a result, it has a direct impact on net pay.
What does the CSG mean for employers?
Employers are responsible for the correct calculation, withholding and reporting of the CSG on their employees' wages. The contribution is processed alongside other social charges through the French payroll system.
CSG and CRDS
The CSG is often mentioned together with the CRDS (Contribution au Remboursement de la Dette Sociale) on payslips. Both contributions are deducted from employees' salaries and form part of the financing of the French social security system.
