Payment Time for nearly 200,000 employees who maintain and ‘block“For parallel employment: E-EFKA informs the debtors with relevant notices and invites them to start repaying their debts by the end of this month. These “ravakia” will be taken by those who, as it turned out, from the process of clearing last year’s contributions, paid down lower than those who should have been required by law.

Thus, this interval the e-EFKA sends the notices to pay the additional contributionwith the debtors estimated at nearly 200,000. It is those employees who at the same time have a blockage to provide services as freelancers.

Who must pay extra amounts

Extra contributions will be repaid in six monthly installments, with the first installment being paid until July 31st. Following the completion of the clearance process of the insurance contributions of 2024, the body issues the notes and posted on the accounts of the debtors, who are employees who were active in 2024 as freelancers, self -employed and farmers.

The legislation in force from 1-1-2020 stipulates that employees, who have a block at the same time, are exempt from contributions from the parallel freelance profession, provided that the minimum amounts of contributions paid as employees are at least the amount of the taxpayers who correspond to the contributions.

For 2024, the levy of the second -tenant’s second class was € 285.88, which means that the insured persons, if they paid a monthly contribution of less than 285.88 euros, will be required to pay the difference corresponding to the specific amount for 12 months of 2024.

What is the case in cases where insureds have a refund

In cases where a credit clearance is arising, in the sense that the non -employed insured person has selected a high insurance category and thus paid higher amounts of contributions than required, a refund or set -off of the contributions due to the current ones will be refunded or offset.

It is also clarified that:

  • If the blocking of a block is in the same employer, in which he or she is employed as an employee, the exemption does not apply and pays contributions to the blocks.
  • For young people with a professional activity of up to 5 years, if there is a parallel employment, the exemption applies as long as the lease levy covers the amount of the first insurance category, ie EUR 238.23. The difference between the first and second insurance category, which young professionals have been gained for five years, “is not an insurance debt and is not sought”.

It is worth noting here that debtors will be informed of the amount resulting in as an additional contribution, notice to their email.

They should also be aware that the payment of last year’s contributions is paid in parallel with the payment of current contributions, as derived from the employment of each of the interested parties, but also by the parallel self -employed work, in accordance with the insurance categories selected.

In the event of a non -timely payment of the amounts due for the contributions of 2024, the competent authorities of the body will seek a monthly debit balance of at least two months.
