Frequently asked questions

How long does the Tarifa Plana of €80 last?
The Tarifa Plana of €80 per month applies for the first 12 months after registration in RETA. After that, contributions are calculated based on net estimated income (effective from 2023).
Can I combine unemployment with self-employment?
Yes. You can claim full unemployment benefits once to invest in your business or partially combine it. Check conditions with SEPE before registering.
What specific aid programs does Aragon offer for the self-employed?
IAF offers Emprende en Aragón, a free advisory program, access to incubators, and training. It also manages the Fondo de Inversión en Aragón (FIA) for innovative projects by self-employed individuals. The three Aragonese Chambers of Commerce offer additional training and networking.
Which IAE category should I choose?
The IAE category identifies your economic activity to the Tax Office. Choose the one that best describes what you do. AEAT has a search tool on its website. If you have multiple activities, you can register under several categories simultaneously.
When do I start paying self-employment contributions?
Starting from the first day of the month following your registration. If you register on January 1st, pay the full monthly contribution for that month. If you register mid-month, pay a proportional amount. That’s why it's best to register on the first day of the month.
