    • Is there no flat rate under the new contribution system?
      Category: > Subject:

      The different types of "flat rate" are expressly repealed.

      However, for self-employed workers who are registered from January 2023 onwards, if this is their first registration with the social security scheme for self-employed workers (RETA) or if they have not been registered with the system in the two years prior to the new registration, a new reduced flat-rate contribution is established in the General State Budget Law (LPGE) (currently €80), with an initial duration of 12 months, extendible to 24 months if they do not earn more than the minimum wage after the initial period.

      The contribution basis, during the application of this new flat rate modality, will be the minimum base of section 1 of the general table.

      The financial benefits to which self-employed workers who benefit from this reduced contribution may be entitled shall be determined in accordance with the minimum basis of the lowest tranche of the general table.

      These contributions shall not be subject to adjustment.

      Although the law has expressly repealed the so-called FLAT RATE in its different modalities, the beneficiaries of these benefits before 1 January 2023 may continue to enjoy them in their contributions until their maximum duration runs out.

    • I am a beneficiary of a flat-rate scheme (age, initial or acquired disability, gender violence, victim of terrorism...), will I have to pay the full fee as of 1 January 2023 or am I still entitled?
      Category: > Subject:

      Despite the abolition of the articles of the Statute of Self-Employed Workers that governed the different modalities of the flat rate (arts. 31, 31.2, 32 and 32.2) self-employed workers who had these benefits recognised in the contribution at 31 December 2022 will keep them until their terms expire.

    • Will the average contribution basis of the last 12 months be considered when calculating the allowance for self-employed workers who return to work from 1 January 2023...
      Category: > Subject:

      Will the average contribution basis of the last 12 months be considered when calculating the allowance for self-employed women who return to work from 1 January 2023 if the self-employed woman has been registered for less than 12 months but has previously completed the 12-month period in other schemes?

      If the self-employed woman has been registered continuously for less than 12 months before the cessation of activity, the average contribution basis will be calculated based on the last date of on which they were registered. This will be the result of multiplying the amount resulting from dividing the sum of the contribution basis by the number of days of registration during the period of continuous registration by 30.
