Once a year, the person who has taken out voluntary agricultural accident insurance receives an account statement showing the amount of contributions due for this insurance. These contributions depend on the nature and size of the plots of land insured.
Amount of the contributions
For 2025, the voluntary agricultural accident contributions are set as follows:
- agricultural land EUR 43,60/ha
- vineyards, orchards and market gardens EUR 296,48/ha
- forests and tree nurseries EUR 56,68/ha
The contributions are calculated each year based on the number of hectares of agricultural land declared during the previous year.
Newly insured persons receive an account statement based on the data provided in the 'Application for voluntary agricultural and sylvicultural accident insurance' form from the Social Security Centre (Centre commun de la sécurité sociale - CCSS) in November of the year of admission to the voluntary insurance scheme.
Contributions are always due for a full year, even if the insurance only covers part of the year.
Payment of contributions
In November each year, the CCSS sends the person taking out voluntary agricultural accident insurance an account statement requesting the annual amount due.
Example
In September 2018, Mr Müller receives an 'Information and census' form (in French 'Information et recensement' and in German 'Mitteilung und Erhebung'). Using this form, he declares the number of hectares of agricultural land that he plans to farm in 2019.
Based on this data, in November 2019 the CCSS sends an account statement to inform him of the voluntary insurance contributions he needs to pay.
The amount shown as 'overall balance' in the 'DEBIT' column is the amount to be paid. If the 'overall balance' appears in the 'CREDIT' column, the balance is owed to the person. The person may then opt for a full or partial reimbursement.
The balance requested must be paid within 10 days of the account statement being issued, even if the insured has a query.
If the contributions are not paid, the CCSS sends a reminder. If the payment is not made after the reminder, the CCSS sends the insured a formal notice to pay. If the insured still does not pay, they will be disaffiliated on 31 December of the year concerned.
To facilitate their payment, the insured can set up a direct debit mandate. Once the direct debit has been activated, the account statement states at the bottom of the page that the balance will be collected directly by the bank.
Completing transfer/payment orders
In order to allow the CCSS to keep an accurate record of payments, the payer must:
- clearly state the contributor's account number on the transfer or payment order; for voluntarily insured persons, this is their 13-digit national identification number followed by '30'.
Example: 19701231XXXXX30
- make a separate payment order for each contributor's account
Example: if the person has another contributor's account as well as the voluntary insurance contributor's account, they must complete a transfer/payment order for the 19701231XXXXX30 account and a separate transfer/payment order for the other account.
