Frequently asked questions

How long does the Tarifa Plana of €80 last for self-employed individuals?
The Tarifa Plana fee of €80 per month applies for the first year after registration in RETA. After this period, contributions are calculated based on estimated net earnings (effective contribution system since 2023).
Can I combine unemployment with becoming self-employed?
Yes. You can capitalize your unemployment benefit by claiming the full amount to invest in your business or partially combine it. Check conditions with SEPE before registering.
What specific support does Andalusia offer for self-employed individuals?
Andalucía Emprende offers free advice across all municipalities, access to CEEIs, training and ongoing support during the first year. The Junta also manages FSE subventions for unemployed new self-employed individuals and has targeted programs for rural areas and agricultural sector self-employeds.
Which IAE classification should I choose?
The IAE classification identifies your economic activity to Hacienda. Choose the one that best describes what you will do. The AEAT has an online search tool on its website. If you have multiple activities, you can register under several classifications simultaneously.
When do I start paying self-employed contributions?
From the first day of the month in which you register. If you register on the 1st, you pay the full monthly contribution for that month. If you register mid-month, you only pay a proportional amount. That's why it's best to register on the first day of the month.
