EU Regs 883/2004
At a recent British Embassy Outreach meeting, the UK
Ambassador to France was asked by PetersonSims in the Q&A session whether
consideration had been given to the continuing application of the EU Regs
883/2004 (relating to the place of payment of social security contributions for
posted workers and workers pursuing an activity in two or more EU states). The Ambassador confirmed that the status quo
will be maintained for those covered by the Withdrawal Agreement. This would infer
that the current rules relating to A1 and S1 certificates will remain unchanged,
post Brexit, for such individuals.
We stress that this was a verbal response to our question
and we are seeking a written response from the Embassy to confirm this
statement. Furthermore we have asked for a statement regarding the position of future workers who are not covered by the Withdrawal Agreement.
