Frequently asked questions

How long does the 80€ Tariff Plan last?
The 80€ per month Tariff Plan applies for the first 12 months of registration in the RETA. After that period, contributions are calculated based on net income estimates for the year (revenue-based system effective since 2023).
Can I combine unemployment with becoming self-employed?
Yes. You can claim full unemployment benefits or partially combine them with your new business activity. Check the conditions at your local SEPE office before registering as self-employed.
What specific support programs does Valencian Community offer for self-employed individuals?
IVACE offers funding lines and acceleration programs for innovative self-employed entrepreneurs. Labora manages the Emprendimiento y Autoempleo program with subsidies for unemployed individuals who register as self-employed. Xarxa PROP offices facilitate all procedures on-site.
Which IAE classification code should I choose?
The IAE classification code identifies your economic activity to the tax authority. Choose the one that best describes what you will be doing. The AEAT has a search tool on their electronic portal. If you have multiple activities, you can register under several codes simultaneously.
When do I start paying self-employed contributions?
Starting from the first day of the month in which you register. If you register on the 1st, you pay the full contribution for that month. If you register mid-month, you pay a proportional amount. That’s why it’s best to register at the beginning of the month.
