Frequently asked questions

How long does the Tarifa Plana of €80 last?
The Tarifa Plana fee of €80 per month applies for the first year after registration in RETA. After that, contributions are calculated based on estimated net earnings for the current year (real income system, effective from 2023).
Can I combine unemployment with becoming self-employed?
Yes. You can either capitalize your unemployment benefits in full to invest in your business or partially combine them. Check conditions at your SEPE office before registering.
What specific support does Andalusia offer for self-employed individuals?
Andalucía Emprende offers free advice across all municipalities, access to CEEIs (European Business and Innovation Centers), training, and ongoing support during the first year. The Junta also manages FSE subsidies for unemployed new self-employment and has specific programs for rural areas and agricultural self-employed individuals.
Which IAE code should I choose?
The IAE code identifies your economic activity with Hacienda. You must select the one that best describes what you will do. The AEAT has a searchable database on their electronic portal. If you have multiple activities, you can register under several codes simultaneously.
When do I start paying self-employment contributions?
Starting from the first day of the month after registration. If you register on January 1st, you will pay the full contribution for that month. If you register halfway through a month, you pay a proportional amount. That's why it's best to register at the beginning of the month.
