ACRE 2025 Simulator — Social charges exemption

ACRE is available to business creators and acquirers who are: job seekers receiving or eligible for unemployment benefits, recipients of RSA or ASS social benefits, people under 26 (or under 30 for recognized disabled persons), employees or laid-off workers from companies in administration or liquidation.

ACRE lasts 12 months from the start of activity. During this period, you benefit from full or partial social contribution exemptions. For micro-entrepreneurs, the exemption is 50% off standard rates for the first 4 calendar quarters following business creation.

For auto-entrepreneurs (micro-enterprise), apply via the ACRE form submitted to URSSAF within 45 days of starting activity. For other structures (SASU, EURL), the application accompanies the business creation file submitted to the relevant CFE (business registration center).

Yes, ACRE also applies to SASU and EURL directors under eligibility conditions. For a SASU president (treated as an employee), the exemption covers employer and employee contributions excluding supplementary pension and unemployment insurance. For an EURL manager (self-employed), it reduces the usual TNS social contributions.
