COVID-19 Exceptional Measures: deferrals of contributions Urssaf (employers), by department x large sector

Data by department and major sector of activity relating to the carry-over of contributions from employers affiliated to the general scheme under the exceptional Urssaf measures linked to the Covid-19 crisis (deadlines from 15 March to 15 December 2020). Situations at the end of March to December 2020. In order to take into account the impact of the coronavirus outbreak on economic activity, the Urssaf network has triggered exceptional measures to support companies with serious cash-flow difficulties from the deadline of 15 March. In the event of major difficulties, companies could postpone, first without prior request and then on request, all or part of the payment of employee and employer contributions. This dataset describes all the amounts carried forward, whether they are part of a device authorising the carryover or not. The carry-over amounts therefore correspond to the ‘remains to be recovered’. The data are broken down by payment deadline: on the 5th or 15th of the month. Contributions must in principle be paid in the month following the period of paid employment: * no later than 5 of that month for employers with at least 50 employees and whose pay is paid in the same month as the working period; * no later than the 15th of this month in any other case. _Source_: ACOSS-Urssaf, extraction early May 2021 Indicators: * Number of institutions at maturity (*) * Amount of contributions due * Number of establishments carried over (*) * Amount of carry-overs (*) WARNING: information on the number of establishments should be interpreted with caution. Indeed, since the institutions are counted at each deadline, the selection of a period covering more than one month leads to counting the same establishments several times (an institution is likely to make a declaration each month). Thus, in order to have the total number of institutions without double accounts, it is necessary to select the deadlines for the same month. Methodological details: * **these data take into account the schemes for exemption of social contributions and payment aid introduced by Article 65 of Law No 2020-935 of 30 July 2020 to support the companies most affected by the crisis.** Contributions due are indeed amounts after application of the exemptions. And carry-overs are amounts after the payment aid has been charged, which reduces the amounts to be paid by the undertakings concerned. **** * an institution shall be recognised as carried over if the amount of unpaid contributions at maturity exceeds EUR 44. * the sector of activity “nca _not classified elsewhere_” includes the agriculture sector (AZ) as regards the general scheme (most of the AZ sector is covered by the agricultural scheme, outside the field here), extra-territorial activities (UZ), unknown activities, as well as data not respecting statistical confidentiality at department x large sector level. * The department and regions “not classified elsewhere” concern establishments located in overseas communities or abroad, or those (very rare) for which location information is missing. * a category “calling” (with codes regions and departments to “___” and labels “_calage_”) allows sectoral data altered by the treatment of statistical confidentiality to be re-calibrated on national levels. **DATAVIZ**: [focusing](https://open.urssaf.fr/explore/dataset/mesures-exceptionnelles-covid-19-reports-par-departement-x-grand-secteur/dataviz/)
