Introduction

This video is a recorded session led by Delphine Toutain, an expert in administrative procedures, specifically addressing questions from artists and entrepreneurs regarding their status as "artistes-auteurs" (artist-authors) and/or micro-entrepreneurs in France. The session covers navigating administrative processes with the URSSAF (French social security agency for the self-employed), including adjonction (addition of activity), tax declarations, and retirement contributions.

Key Takeaways

• URSSAF Procedures for "Adjonction": The process for adding an "artiste-auteur" status to an existing micro-entreprise involves sending paper documents (INPI synthesis, ID copy, activation code form) to the URSSAF. Expect a 10-15 day (potentially longer) processing time. Follow-up with the URSSAF if documents aren't received.
• URSSAF Payment and Modulation: URSSAF initially estimates annual income at €9,000, calculating contributions accordingly. The "modulation" feature on the URSSAF website allows adjusting payment based on actual income, potentially setting initial contributions to zero. Quarterly payments are possible.
• Retirement Contributions ("Surcotisation"): Artists can choose to "surcotiser" (pay extra) to maximize retirement contributions, especially if their income is below the threshold for full coverage. This increases contributions but ensures four quarterly retirement credits.
• INPI Registration Issues: The INPI (National Institute of Intellectual Property) website may incorrectly show a business as "radiée" (struck off the register), despite active URSSAF registration. Contacting INPI directly is necessary to resolve this issue.
• Micro-entreprise and Artiste-auteur Combination: Combining micro-entreprise and artiste-auteur statuses requires careful navigation, as the INPI system sometimes struggles with this dual registration. The speaker advises against the typical approach and suggests alternative methods.

I cannot directly answer the follow-up questions because the provided transcript does not contain the specific information requested. The transcript discusses the procedures and processes, but it does not provide the exact phone numbers, website addresses, or legal details requested in questions 1, 2, 3, and 4. To answer those questions, you would need to either find that information within other parts of the video (if available) or consult the relevant official websites for the URSSAF and INPI.
