Frequently Asked Questions:
What do I have to do to be self-employed?
To be self-employed, that is, a self-employed worker, you must register with the Tax Agency, using form 036. In this model you must indicate the activity that is going to be carried out and the place where it is carried out.
Likewise, you must register with Social Security as an employed worker, and choose the amount of the contribution to be paid, which can be €264 or €1,074 per month. There are reductions depending on the characteristics of the entrepreneur.
Is it better to be self-employed or create a company?
This is a question that raises many doubts, and which does not have a generic answer, since it will depend on each case to assess the convenience of one model or another.
It must be taken into account that if you are self-employed, the profits from the activity are taxed in the Income Tax, resulting in marginal rates of up to 49%. On the contrary, companies are taxed at a rate of 15% for the first two years, and subsequently at 25%. Although the maintenance of a company implies a series of fixed expenses of a tax nature that do not occur in the case of being self-employed, it also allows us to reduce the liability derived from the business.
Do I always have to go to the notary?
There are certain operations that must be documented in a public deed. If you are a self-employed person, you will rarely have to go to the notary in the course of your activity.
On the other hand, if it is a commercial company, the constitution must be done before a notary, as well as the purchase and sale of shares and any modification of the statutes (increases and reductions of capital, remuneration of directors, change of name).
What declarations do I have to present?
Generally, the main declarations that must be submitted are those for VAT and withholdings in the event that you have professional collaborators or workers or/and pay rent.
If the activity carried out by the self-employed person is a business activity, that is, it is not subject to withholding, a quarterly installment payment of income must also be submitted, which will be 20% of the profit for the period, (said payment may be deducted in the Annual statement).
When are the declarations submitted?
Tax returns are generally filed on April 20, July 20, October 20 and January 20/30. Income tax is presented during the months of April to June.
In the case of companies, if they invoice more than 6 million euros, the statements are monthly. Likewise, the Corporate Tax is presented from July 1 to 25 (years closed on December 31).
Should I keep an accounting?
Every businessman is obliged to keep accounting in accordance with the General Accounting Plan in the case of normal direct estimation and following certain principles. Likewise, it is very important to reflect all income and expenses in the accounting and in the Record Books, since the Tax Agency does not accept deductions, for example from VAT payments, that are not duly noted in the record books.
