Support us through your Apprenticeship Tax

Apprenticeship Tax 2026 (taxe d'apprentissage)

Join us in our commitment to upholding the culture of “hands-on learning”, which is now more than ever at the heart of our education! By paying the apprenticeship levy to Centrale Nantes, you are directly helping to fund the equipment, materials and spaces where ideas become reality.

The payment arrangements remain the same 

In 2026, the Apprentice Tax will still be collected directly by Urssaf and MSA via the DSN (Déclaration Sociale Nominative). It represents 0.09% of the total payroll. Each company pays the apprenticeship tax by direct debit via the DSN. The funds are then transferred to the Caisse des Dépôts.

From the end of May 2026, each company is invited to connect to the SOLTéA platform set up by Caisse des Dépôts using the identifiers obtained from Net-Entreprises. Each company can thus choose the beneficiary institutions and allocate its payments:

https://employeurs.soltea.education.gouv.fr

*No later than the 5th of the month for companies with at least 50 employees and whose salaries are paid during the same month as the working period.
 By the 15th of the month at the latest in all other cases (companies with more than 50 employees, whose salaries are paid later, and less than 50 employees).

How to connect to the SOLTéA platform?

Did you use SOLTéA in 2023 and 2024?
Company authentication does not need to be repeated in 2025. Access is the same as in previous years.
