Social Security changes its criteria regarding the flat rate and the corporate Self-employed. More than by their own will, obliged by the Supreme Court. And it has had to admit the application of the “flat rate” in the quota of the corporate Self-employed workers.
The Tariff and the Corporate Self-employed.
Since the entry into force, in 2013, of RDL 4/2013, of February 22nd, on measures to support entrepreneurs and to stimulate growth and job creation, there has been a reduction in Social Security contributions for new Self-employed workers. Known as a “flat rate” and provided that certain requirements are met, including not having been registered as a self-employed person in the five years prior to the new registration, it allows Self-employed persons to reduce the quota from 300 euros to approximately 60 euros. During one year, and apply a lower bonus during the second year.
Since the entry into force of the aforementioned regulation, the Social Security authorities have interpreted that the rebates are not applicable to corporate Self-employed workers. That is, those who decide to carry out their activity through a commercial company.
Change of criteria
Required by Supreme Court rulings:
- 1669/19, December 3, 2019
- 286/2020, 27 February 2020
- and 315/2020 of 4 March 2020
These establish that the application of the benefits in the contribution to corporate self-employed workers cannot be prevented. For this reason, the Social Security authorities have issued a notice announcing their change of criteria when applying the rebates. Thus, from now on, corporate Self-employed workers will enjoy the same benefits as other self-employed workers. As for the possible bonuses in the payment of the quota.
