Self-Employed Individuals

What is considered self-employment in Spain?

A self-employed individual or a freelancer is a person who works independently and does not have an employer-employee relationship with any company or employer. They organize their work schedule and use their own materials and structure to carry out their work.

Within the category of self-employed individuals, there are three main classifications of activities based on their IAE (Tax Activities Index):

1

Business Activities

Small business owners who operate their own businesses such as shops or restaurants.

2

Professional Activities

Independent professionals, such as doctors, lawyers, consultants, graphic designers, programmers (among others), whose work requires a professional qualification.

3

Artistic Activities

Musicians, athletes, and film actors (among others).

Main Obligations of Self-Employed Individuals in Spain

In Spain, self-employed individuals have several legal and tax obligations that they must fulfill.

Some of the main ones include:

Todos los trabajadores autónomos deben darse de alta en el régimen especial de trabajadores autónomos de la Seguridad Social, ya sea de forma presencial o a través de la Sede Electrónica de la Seguridad Social.

Los trabajadores autónomos están obligados a pagar mensualmente las cotizaciones correspondientes a la Seguridad Social en función de su base de cotización.

Los autónomos deben presentar cada trimestre la declaración trimestral de impuestos, que incluye entre otros el modelo 303 de IVA y el modelo 130 (IRPF) correspondiente al trimestre. Asimismo, anualmente deben presentar el modelo 100 de IRPF como cualquier otro ciudadano.

Los autónomos deben emitir facturas por los servicios que prestan y llevar un registro detallado de todas las operaciones que realizan.

Los trabajadores autónomos están obligados a llevar un registro contable de sus ingresos y gastos, y a conservar todos los justificantes y facturas relacionados con su actividad. Los principales libros oficiales son:

  • Libro registro de Ventas e Ingresos
  • Libro registro de Compras y Gastos
  • Libro registro de bienes de inversión

Dependiendo del tipo de actividad que realicen, los autónomos pueden necesitar obtener permisos y licencias específicas para poder desarrollar su actividad.

It's important to comply with the obligations mentioned above. Non-compliance can lead to sanctions or fines by the relevant authorities.
