Most companies in France pay an apprenticeship tax to help finance apprenticeships and technological and vocational training. For the Volvo Renault Trucks group, we decided to pay our apprenticeship tax to Centrale Lyon because we've been in the same area for years, and Centrale's training courses are fully aligned with our decarbonization challenges.

Schemes
Companies subject to income or corporation tax with at least one establishment in France and employing at least one employee are liable to pay the apprenticeship tax to URSAFF or MSA (Mutualité Sociale Agricole).
The basis for calculating the apprenticeship tax is payroll. It is made up of two parts:
- A main part, at a rate of 0.59% to finance apprenticeship contracts;
- A balance, corresponding to a rate of 0.09%, for the development of initial technological and vocational training (excluding apprenticeship) and professional integration.
