The government again met with the self-employed to reach an agreement on contributions

The meeting, originally scheduled for last Friday but finally postponed to Monday, will begin at 12 noon and will take place just a few days after the Government’s last proposal to the parties. The wages payable by the self-employed will range from 245 to 565 Euros per month, depending on their net income.

This last proposal of the Executive, which increased Chapters 13 to 14, Improvement over the previous lowest income group (less than 670 euros per month) and intermediate divisions, with a corresponding net income of more than 4,050 euros per month, increasing the recommended quota for the self-employed.

Specifically, the department headed by José Luis Escrivá stated in its final proposal: Workers with an income of less than 670 euros per month pay a wage of 245 eurosFor those exceeding 4,050 euros per month, which is 5 euros less than the previous offer, the recommended quota reaches 565 euros, 15 euros more than in the last document.

As for net returns ranging from 1,700 euros to 2,300 euros per month, Ministry presented three slices. In particular, it recommends that self-employed people with a net income of between 1,700 and 1,850 euros pay a wage of 370 euros per month, 30 euros less than was suggested in its previous proposal, for the income range of 1,700 to 1,900 euros.

In the last section proposal made by the government on 27 May, 440 Euro fee offered for the section between 1.900 and 2.330 Euro, but now he has split this section in two: a fee of 400 euros is proposed with an income of 1,850 to 2,030 euros, and a fee of 2,030 to 2,330 euros will be 440 euros.

Thus, with the changes in the last document, The government’s proposal consists of 14 parts. Self-employed individuals with a monthly net income of between 670 and 1700 euros, which make up the first six sections, will pay monthly wages between 260 and 294 euros to SGK.

In the remaining eight divisions, whose monthly net income ranges from 1,701 to 4,050 euros, the self-employed will have to pay Social Security between 370 and 565 euros per month, according to the latest Government proposal.

José Luis Escrivá, Minister for Inclusion, Social Security and Immigration, warned last Thursday: If an agreement is not reached with the self-employed associations on the new contribution model, the Government will decide with whom to approve the rule.

However, Escrivá remains optimistic about the progress of the talks and has assured that “reconciliation is achieved and imminent”, so everything points to “a very imminent closure without setting a deadline”.

“We have not set a specific deadline, but it is true that we have been negotiating for a long time.Escrivá said this week that the negotiating table is already dealing with “small adjustments” so it would be “surprising” not to have a deal.

Self-employed organizations, divided

this opinions of self-employed organizations Around the new quotas raised by Social Security they splitSo much so that UPTA asked the Government to make a decision now, even if it was not shared by all the interlocutors.

ATA, on the other hand, continues to reject the Government’s proposal, considering it “inappropriate”.. “A self-employed person earning 1,700 euros per month will have to pay an additional contribution of 900 euros per year, 26% more, this is not affordable,” ATA chief Lorenzo Amor said last Monday. said.

Uatae said on Thursday that although he will attend Monday’s meeting in a “constructive spirit”, he will not support the Government’s latest proposal as it is for self-employed people with incomes equal to or less than 670. Monthly euro “bid for more than 50% of revenue in most cases”. “It’s not reasonable or socially sustainable,” he denounced.

Uatae said it would propose a “significant reduction” Contributions by the self-employed with lower incomes who “do not need any adaptation period to pay less than their income”.

At the same time, he warned that RETA reform should not only provide obligations to the self-employed, but also rights that he would demand “greater ambition” in demobilization reform.

UPTA chairman Eduardo Abad hopes tomorrow’s meeting will serve to close a definitive text. For now, the Government sent last weekend an eraser, Europa Press has access to, It has been determined that the contribution to RETA will be made according to annual returns. It is forwarded to the Treasury by self-employed workers while performing their economic or professional activities.

Generally, The text sets out the obligation to declare the expected economic returns from economic or professional activity when requesting registration with the Self-Employed Regime. In every request to change the contribution made by the self-employed, they must declare the economic return estimate in question.

In this context, the number of requests for changes in the contributions of self-employed workers will be increased from four to six during the year. Therefore, base changes can be requested bimonthly and will be effective from 1 March (if the request is made between January and February); From 1 May; From 1 July; Effective from 1 September, 1 November and 1 January of the following year, provided that it is requested between 1 November and 31 December.

The draft contains several provisions for temporary or permanent termination of activity: ordinary and several extraordinary. Between the latter, a benefit is created to support self-employed people affected by a cyclical or sectoral RED (the new ERTE of job reform).

In both cases, the benefit can be achieved if the mechanism in question affects 75% of the workforce. In the case of circular RED, a 75% revenue reduction for two consecutive quarters and a 50% revenue reduction in the industry will be required, among other requirements.
