Self-employed service providers operate under a different system to regular care givers. When working with a self-employed individual you are therefore not their employer but their client. Thanks to this system, the cost of their services is reduced as there are no more employer and employee contributions. You only pay the hourly rate of your provider and that's all! You will also benefit from more CAF aid than under the special status of an employer for childcare. Finally, you are entitled to the 50% tax credit as well.

A self-employed provider on the Yoopies platform can offer: Childcare; Household; School support...

You can benefit from a tax credit of 50% for any childcare, household, tutoring or personal assistance benefits.

The expenditure ceiling is limited to €12,000 (plus an additional €1,500:

• per dependent or related child (750 € in if they reside in another residence) ;

• per household member over 65 years of age;

• for the sole purpose of calculating the tax reduction, per ascendant over 65 years of age who meets the conditions to benefit from the APA when the expenses are incurred in his or her home.

The increased limit is capped at 15.000€.

Is this the first year of employment? The ceiling is 15.000€, increased under the same conditions, without being able to exceed 18.000€.

As soon as you hire a home-based worker (excluding those who are self-employed), you are aprivate individual-employer. It is therefore your duty to declare your employee.

Pajemploi and Cesu are the two official government platforms that allow private employers of individuals to declare the hours worked by an employee at home and the salary paid to him/her. It is due to this declaration that you will then be able to obtain state aid.

Pajemploi is the platform that makes it easy to declare the remuneration of a home-based employee or a childminder for a childcare activity for children under 6 years old.

⚠️ It is not possible to declare on Pajemploi: self-employed workers; employees at home providing household services, assistance to dependent relatives, school support and animal care.

Cesu is the platform that makes it easy to declare the remuneration of a home-based employee for the following activities: childcare for children over 6 years old, housework, assistance to dependent relatives.

⚠️ It is not possible to declare on Cesu: self-employed workers, home-based employees providing childcare services for children under 6 years old, childcare assistants, home-based employees providing animal care and tutoring.
