Self-employed deregistration: closing your status
Deregistration ends your self-employed status, whether at your initiative or automatically when exceeding the cap. Anticipating this step avoids business interruption and unpaid admin.
Voluntary deregistration
If you cease your activity or switch to another status (umbrella, company), request deregistration from the RNAE administration.
Before deregistering: regularise all revenue declarations, pay outstanding AMO contributions, and archive invoices and bank statements (10-year retention).
A clean voluntary deregistration avoids administrative blocks if you later switch to another status or create a company.
Automatic deregistration
Exceeding the self-employed cap (200k services / 500k trade): automatic deregistration. You can no longer issue invoices under this status.
Often happens mid-year without notice — hence the importance of the cap calculator and alerts at 60–70% of the threshold.
Other possible causes: prolonged undeclared inactivity, repeated non-payment of contributions, proven fraud.
Immediate consequences
Loss of active AE number for invoicing — interruption if you have not anticipated a replacement status.
Obligation to declare final collections and settle AMO contributions.
Cannot re-register as self-employed the same year after cap-exceedance deregistration.
What to do after deregistration?
WEEPO umbrella company: transition in 1–2 weeks, client continuity, employment contract, employee CNSS.
LLC / single-member LLC: if durable volume and willingness to structure a company with full accounting.
