CNAPS tax management

Automatically manage CNAPS tax for security companies

Are you a private security professional?

As part of your customer invoicing, you must include the CNAPS contribution, calculated on the basis of remuneration paid and according to the same rules as VAT. 

With the "Gestion de taxe CNAPS" app, distinguish the different activities on the invoice and automatically calculate the contribution to be applied to the amount of the security service.

Activating the app adds : 

  • An area for setting CNAPS tax rates according to activity
  • A field for defining the type of tax to be applied to each product/service record
  • Calculation of CNAPS tax per item line and on total quotes and invoices
  • PDF printout of tax value 

1. CNAPS tax rate setting

Go to the "Company data" menu in the "Configuration" tab.
Click on "Edit".

Two new fields appear: 

  • CNAPS fee for external services      
  • CNAPS tax for in-house services      

Complete the fields with the current rates and save.
They will then be applied to your invoices, for the products you have designated as applying the CNAPS contribution.

In 2018 the rates are as follows: 

  • 0.40% on the amount excluding tax of services for legal entities and individuals = when private security services are outsourced. (EXTERNAL TYPE) 
  • 0.60% on remuneration paid to employees performing security services on behalf of legal entities = when services are provided by an internal security service. (TYPE INTERNE) 

2. Set tax type by product 

Go to your product sheets. A new field will appear on each one: "CNAPS tax".

In this field, the drop-down menu allows you to select whether your service is related to an External or Internal tax, which will be applied to the product when it is invoiced for the calculation of the CNAPS tax.

Once these adjustments have been made, you can invoice your services.

On an invoice, the CNAPS tax is : 

  • Calculated per item line: it is integrated into the item's VAT excl. and taken into account for VAT calculation
  • Transferred to the "TOTAL" block of the invoice: its value is shown separately.
