Two complementary laws
Law 98-15 establishes the compulsory health cover scheme for self-employed workers; it was published in the Official Bulletin on 13 July 2017. Law 99-15 creates a pension scheme for professionals, self-employed workers and non-salaried people in the liberal professions; it was published on 21 December 2017.
What the pension scheme provides
It is managed by the CNSS, separate from the employee scheme, compulsory with an optional component. It comes into force category by category, alongside AMO, once the implementing texts are published.
A required certificate
The CNSS periodically issues a certificate of contributions, unpaid periods and penalties. It must be presented to obtain an authorisation, certificate or document relating to the activity from professional bodies and government departments.
Categories concerned
Health professions, judicial and legal professions, finance, accounting and insurance, construction, expert appraisal, audit and consulting, transport, among others. As the texts have changed since 2019, check your situation with our advisers.
