Allocation of the Apprenticeship Tax Balance on SOLTéA: Launch of the 2026 Campaign Published on April 3, 2026 - Updated on June 8, 2026 - Entreprendre Service Public / Directorate of Legal and Administrative Information (Prime Minister)
The balance of the apprenticeship tax (AT), declared and paid by the employer in the April DSN, aims to develop initial technological and professional training as well as professional integration. The first campaign for allocating this balance began on May 26.

To help fund institutions supporting professional integration, the balance portion of the AT paid in May by the employer is allocated to institutions and training programs of their choice.
Fund allocation takes place on the SOLTéA platform. This platform allows you to:
-
access the list of institutions and training programs eligible to receive the apprenticeship tax balance;
-
choose the authorized institutions or training programs to which you wish to allocate this balance.
For 2026, the SOLTéA platform schedule is as follows:
