New Rules on Paying Social Security Dues in Cross-Border Employment

Posted on July 6, 2010 by Raczkowski i Wspólnicy
The new Regulation No. 883/2004 on coordination of social security systems entered into force on 1 May 2010 and superseded the previous one - Regulation No. 1408/71, which has governed this matter for nearly 40 years. The new Regulation changes little but does introduce certain new details. The main rule remains the same: the insured person is subject to social security legislation of the Member State in which he or she pursues a gainful activity. One of the details changed is that when an employer sends an employee to another Member State, that employee will remain subject to the legislation of the first Member State for up to 24 months. In the previous Regulation that period was 12 months, and it could be extended by a further 12 months. Another change is that a person who is normally employed in two or more Member States will be subject to the legislation of their Member State of residence if they pursue a substantial part of their activity in that Member State. If they do not pursue a substantial part of their activities in their Member State of residence, they are subject to the legislation of the Member State in whose territory the registered office or the place of business of their employer is located. Before, to be subject to the legislation of the Member State of residence, it was sufficient to pursue any part of work in that Member State.
