Registering as self-employed, right the first time

Tax and social security registration, choice of contribution base and mutual insurer, and the reduced rate for new entrants where you qualify.

Self-employed registration and deregistration

What is included

  • Tax registration and social security registration
  • Choosing a contribution base against your expected income
  • Applying for the reduced rate where the requirement is met

What is included and what is not promised

Becoming self-employed in Spain means two registrations, not one, and the order matters. Some decisions can only be taken at the start: the contribution base, the mutual insurer and the reduced rate for new entrants.

What it includes: tax registration and social security registration; choosing a contribution base against your expected income; applying for the reduced rate where the requirement is met. What it does not include: it does not include the ongoing accounting and tax work, which is a separate recurring service.

How it works

Estimated duration: 3 days.

  1. We identify the exact procedure

    We tell you whether your activity requires self-employed registration, which contribution base suits your expected income and whether you can request the reduced rate.

  2. Document list and quote

    We ask for your ID, social security number, bank account and start date. Price agreed before registering.

  3. Filing and receipt

    We file the tax registration and then the self-employed registration through the social security portal, in that order, and hand you the receipts.

  4. Tracking and corrections

    We warn you of the first contribution charge and, when your income changes, of when you can adjust the base.

What to have at hand

  • Valid ID document
  • Social security affiliation number
  • Bank account for the monthly contribution

Frequently asked questions

Do I qualify for the reduced rate?

It depends on whether you have been registered before and when. We check before filing.

Which contribution base should I choose?

The one that matches your real expected income: under-contributing is cheaper now and dearer on sick leave and retirement.

Can I deregister and come back?

Yes, but it affects the reductions. We tell you how it affects your case.
