Black work reaches spectacular proportions on digital platforms. This is one of the lessons of a public note, Tuesday, November 23, by the High Council for Financing Social Protection. The phenomenon would be almost widespread in the field of transport vehicles with drivers (VTC), while covering relatively limited amounts.
Public data Tuesday are trying to identify financial harm suffered by the welfare state due to “evaded” contributions, that is to say, which have not been paid as a result of fraud. Such practices cover various realities: in companies, for example, it is, for example, unreported hours of work or overtime has not given rise to any remuneration or recourse to hand-D without any report to the URSSAF.
In the “non-agricultural private sector”, the shortfall because of the actions of this nature would represent between 2.2% and 2.7% of the total amount of contributions in 2020. Stable percentages compared to the two years Previous: Expressed in absolute value, they correspond to an oscillating range between 5.2 billion and 6.6 billion euros, if we take into account the contributions subtracted to the general system of social security and the insurance Unemployment.
82.2 million euros of prejudice
The High Council has also been interested in deceptions committed by non-employees, bringing new orders of magnitude for microentrepreneurs. The “social escape” would be between 600 million and 900 million euros in 2020, “a little less than a quarter of the contributions due”. This estimate is lower than the “first figures” with big mesh “presented” at the end of last year, which evoked an evaporation of the order of one billion euros: the difference lies in the methodology used, who has refined the recent period.
The problem remains no less significant, especially among microentrepreneurs who offer their services through a digital application – “uboyered workers”. Thus, with regard to VTCs, nearly 90% of them reported in 2020 at the USSRAF a turnover lower than that which the platform registered. The share of “subcommonists” was 72.6% in the delivery sector and 50.5% in that of trade. The contributions retired by the “ubererized” would rise at a little more than 82.2 million euros: the injury is not very important in the light of the levies made in favor of our social protection system, but it requires, in the eyes of the high. Advice, all the attention of the public authorities to be circumscribed.
