Frequently asked questions

How long does the Tarifa Plana of 80€ last for self-employed individuals?
The Tarifa Plana of 80€/month applies for the first year after registration in RETA. After that, fees are calculated based on estimated net income (Real Income System effective since 2023).
Can I combine unemployment with becoming self-employed?
Yes. You can either take your full unemployment benefits to invest in your business or partially combine them. Check conditions at SEPE before registering.
What specific support does Castilla and León offer for self-employed individuals?
The Junta offers the Rural Entrepreneurship program, which includes additional grants for those setting up businesses in municipalities with fewer than 2,000 inhabitants. There are also tax reductions on the regional income tax for new self-employed individuals in their first year and micro-loans from ADE for projects under €25,000.
Which IAE code should I choose?
The IAE code identifies your economic activity to the Tax Office. Choose the one that best describes what you will be doing. The AEAT has an online search tool on its e-Services portal. If you have multiple activities, you can register under several codes simultaneously.
When do I start paying self-employment fees?
Starting from the first day of the month in which you register. If you register on January 1st, you pay for that full month. If you register mid-month, you only pay a proportional amount. That's why it's best to register at the beginning of the month.
