Question 1

In practice, how do the 50% come back to me?

Accepted Answer

Cleaning carried out at your home opens a tax credit equal to half the amounts paid, capped at €12,000 of annual expenses per household. An hour billed at €30 therefore costs you €15. This right exists because SANAD CLEAN operates within the Accès SAP cooperative, approved for home-help services.

Question 2

The instant advance — what does it change?

Accepted Answer

Everything, cash-flow wise: instead of waiting for next year's tax return, URSSAF deducts the credit at the moment you pay. You settle only your half, from the very first invoice. Activation goes through Accès SAP.

Question 3

Which services stay outside the scheme?

Accepted Answer

Anything that does not take place in a private home: offices, shops and business premises, plus pest control (bed bugs, cockroaches). For borderline jobs — terraces, clear-outs — eligibility depends on the exact nature of the work: your quote states it in black and white.

Question 4

Can I pay with CESU?

Accepted Answer

Yes, CESU is accepted for home cleaning. Combined with the tax credit, it brings your hour down to a real €15.
