Social Security: exemption, special profiles and quarters with no invoicing
Some situations follow different rules from the standard calculation. Here's what happens in each one. 🧭
🟢 You are exempt
If you turned on Exempt? in the settings, the Quarterly View shows Exempt — no contribution to pay.
While you are exempt (for example, in your first 12 months of activity), no amount is calculated. You can still open the declaration window if you need to declare.
⭐ You have a special profile
If you chose a Special profile, the page shows This regime does not apply to your profile with an explanation. Quarter cards show "—" and there is no Declare button, because the standard calculation doesn't apply:
| Profile | What it means |
|---|---|
| 📚 Organised accounting | The contribution is calculated on accounting profit, and Social Security gets the data directly from the Tax Authority. |
| 💼 Also working as an employee | If you also work as an employee and stay below the legal limits, you may be exempt from contributing as self-employed. Check your situation with Social Security. |
| ⚖️ Profession with its own pension fund | Your profession contributes to its own fund (e.g. lawyers and solicitors contribute to CPAS), so you don't contribute to Social Security. |
📭 No invoicing in a quarter
⚠️ The €20 monthly minimum still applies, unless you are exempt.
