Duration of conjoint collaborateur status
I began working in France and registered in December 2020. For that one month and for 2021 and 2022 I was a sole trader (individual enterprise). I changed to the auto-entrepreneur regime at the beginning of 2023.
1) My husband was a conjoint collaborateur for the individidual enterprise and now for the micro regime.
I’ve been told he can only have this status for 5 years. Is this correct and does it apply as 5 years from the start of the new regime or the whole time across both regimes (since December 2020).
2) I also have a pension. My husband has no pension (he’s 58). We came before Brexit and are in the system, but how will this continue if he has no work or pension and cannot go on being a conjoint collaborateur?
Thank you for your help.
