One of the reasons why French employers hesitate to hire foreigners, in addition to the additional administrative procedures as we have explained here<\/strong><\/a>, is the payment of a special tax. In short, to be hired in France, an employer must pay an additional and significant tax, which can go up to hundreds or even thousands of euros. This tax has nothing to do with you, the employee, so it is not deducted from your salary. It is an obligation only for the employer. Note that the foreign employee must pay taxes on income received in France, like any other resident working in this country of the European Union.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How is the amount of this tax calculated and in which case is it paid?<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

First of all, the duration of the employment contract is taken into account (which, in any case, must be greater than 3 months). For example, in the case of contracts of more than 12 months, the tax can go up to more than 2 thousand euros.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Second, the tax depends on the salary itself: the higher the salary, the higher the tax. More precisely, the higher your salary is compared to the gross minimum one, the higher the tax. The minimum wage in France is called shortly SMIC (Salaire Minimum Interprofessionnel de Croissance) and is simply pronounced SMIK. Whatever the nature of your contract, the employer cannot pay you less than it. Its amount? The gross minimum wage per hour rose to \u20ac 10.15, on January 1, 2020 (compared to \u20ac 10.03 previously). It is therefore 1,539.42 \u20ac gross per month (or 1,219 \u20ac in cash), for 35 hours of work per week in France.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For job contracts of 3 to 12 months:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The employer who recruits a foreign worker for a period longer than 3 months and less than 12 months, must pay a tax to the French Office for Immigration and Integration (OFII)<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
