So don’t be surprised change in the bidding system workers’ social security self-employment He directed a significant portion of this group to the leadership, the vast majority of which will go from paying a fixed monthly amount – almost nine out of ten people have so far contributed to the minimum base, which amounts to about 294 euros per month. – have to calculate real income regularly to set the quota.
So much so that one fifth -21.3% of these professionals to be exact- still I don’t know how much you will take Pay as new regulations come into effect from January 1, according to a survey conducted by the ATA association. “That’s what Advisors are for,” says the person in charge of ATA in the community, Alberto Callreflects the reality faced by the majority of self-employed people. the vast majority resort to third-party services Managing relations with the administration. An addiction that will become even greater now.
As Ara explained, the ultimate goal of the reform is to bring the contributions paid by the self-employed as well as the wage earners closer to their real income, to improve the sustainability of the system, and also to improve the sustainability of the system. benefits it was taken by government employees. And the fact that the majority contributes to the minimum base – 88% in the case of Alicante – also means lower incomes when they get sick later or at much lower pensions. Specifically, The average pension for a salaried person from Alicante is 1,184 euros. monthly, a self-employed worker barely exceeds 800 euros.
For this, what the new system does is, 15 different sections, which each self-employed person must position himself according to the actual net income he earns from his job. In this way, 2023 those who earn less than 670 euros per month will pay 234 euros quota (less than 60 so far), winners More than 6,000 Eurosto put the two extreme cases, will pay about 510 euros. However, over the next two years these amounts will be modified until the actual target agreed upon by the Government and industry associations is achieved. By then, the minimum quota will have dropped to 204 euros and the maximum quota will have increased to 601 euros.
Up to six changes
Currently, and for the peace of mind of the 21% who have no idea, the self-employed all January and February to convey your forecast Thus, the new quota begins to apply from 1 March. Later, they can change it up to six timesAs UPTA-PV general secretary Javier Pastor points out, it depends on how things go. Whoever does not will continue to pay the same fee as before.

If the self-employed earned more than he estimated to calculate his quota, he must pay the difference; If it is less, it will be the public institution that refunds the money.
If these developments represent a radical change across the country, they are even more important at border lines. Alicante, self-employment weight is above the national average. throughout the province, especiallyup to 19.5% of all employed persons are self-employedcompared to 16.4% of the national average.

However, from ATA they state: Queries reaching the association have already increased by more than 70%. In any case, the real effects of change will be seen in the coming months.
More than 70% of those affected will pay the same or less
Calculations by both the Government itself and the main associations show that over 70% of the self-employed will pay a lower wage similar to what they have paid so far, while those who will have to scrape more will pay more. will be the minority. As MarÃa Antonia Oliva points out, although there is a payoff for this, the measure will be particularly beneficial for self-employed people with very low incomes, as those who have not yet achieved a similar income should not enroll in SMI.
