Frequently asked questions

How long does the Flat Rate Scheme of 80€ last?
The Flat Rate Scheme of 80€/month applies for the first 12 months after registration in the RETA. After this period, the contribution is calculated based on net earnings estimates for the current year (real income-based system, effective since 2023).
Can I combine unemployment with self-employment?
Yes. You can claim unemployment benefits in full to invest in your business or partially combine it. Check the conditions at your SEPE office before registering.
What specific support does Extremadura offer for self-employed individuals?
The Junta provides grants for starting a business, particularly in rural municipalities and traditional sectors of Extremadura. SOFIEX manages microloans and participatory loans for viable self-employed projects. There are also additional tax deductions on the regional IRPF for new self-employed individuals in their first two years.
Which IAE code should I choose?
The IAE code identifies your economic activity to Hacienda. You must select one that best describes what you will do. The AEAT has an online search tool on its electronic portal. If you have multiple activities, you can register under several codes simultaneously.
When do I start paying the self-employed fee?
Starting from the first day of the month in which you register. If you register on the 1st, pay the full monthly fee 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.
