Core offering

Comité Normand Net-Entreprises operates the net-entreprises.fr portal, France's government-mandated unified digital platform for social declarations. The portal enables French employers to submit mandatory monthly and event-based social declarations (principally the DSN - Déclaration Sociale Nominative) to approximately 20 social protection organisms through a single sign-on entry point, replacing multiple separate periodic declarations. The service is entirely free, available 24/7, and supports submission via API, EDI file upload, or direct web access.

Product overview

Net-entreprises.fr is a unified government portal operated by GIP-MDS (Groupement d'Intérêt Public de Modernisation des Déclarations Sociales) providing approximately 20 online social declaration services. The core product is the DSN (Déclaration Sociale Nominative), a monthly declaration system that consolidates multiple periodic and event-based social declarations. Supporting modules include DPAE for hiring declarations, PASRAU for non-salary income, SOLTéA for apprenticeship tax, and specialized accounts like AT/MP. The platform also offers validation tools (Dsn-Val), API access for software integration, and a dashboard for tracking declarations and accessing business reports. Legacy services like DADSU and DUCS have been fully replaced by DSN. The service is free and available to all French employers and their mandated representatives.

Regional players

• HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) - UK: UK tax authority operating mandatory employer PAYE/Real Time Information digital reporting. Functionally analogous to net-entreprises' role as the single mandatory monthly channel for employer payroll data, but for the UK jurisdiction.
• ELSTER (Germany): Germany's official electronic tax and social declaration portal operated by the federal tax administration. Provides a comparable mandatory e-government reporting platform for German employers and citizens, with similar authentication and API integration model.

Others

• ADP (Automatic Data Processing): Global payroll and HR services provider whose software integrates with net-entreprises via API/EDI under the Charte Éditeurs. Comparable as an enabling ecosystem participant whose products are designed to interoperate with the platform.
• Workday: Global cloud HR/payroll platform used by large French employers that integrates with net-entreprises for DSN submission. Comparable as a payroll ecosystem player whose French enterprise customers depend on net-entreprises as the mandatory compliance endpoint.

Direct peers

• Bpifrance: French public investment bank structured as a GIP/EPIC-style entity pooling state-backed capabilities. Closely comparable in governance and legal structure to GIP-MDS, though it operates in public finance rather than social declarations.

Broad incumbents

• URSSAF: French social contribution collection agency and a leading GIP-MDS member. URSSAF directly receives DSN data submitted through net-entreprises, making it the most operationally linked entity in the platform's ecosystem.
• Service-Public.fr: France's general-purpose e-government portal operated by the Direction de l'information légale et administrative. Comparable as a unified government digital front door serving French citizens and businesses, though broader in scope than net-entreprises.
