This year is the year of the big change for the contributions of the self-employed, the leap from the choice of the contribution base to its establishment, as occurs in the general regime, based on income. The new system has been in force since January 1, although the self-employed have the possibility of adapting it throughout the year, with a last window on October 31 for its application in 2023. So far, half a million self-employed workers have modified the contribution base, which represents 15% of the total of 3.3 million self-employed workers. Of this million self-employed workers who have modified their base, 330,000 have done so to increase it and 183,000 have done so to decrease it, according to data from the Ministry of Inclusion and Social Security. That is, 66% have moved to a higher section.
They also consider that many self-employed workers are waiting to see how their income adjusts to their base, and that seasonal issues may influence them. The truth is that the self-employed have a total of six windows Job Function Email Database to adapt their contribution base to income throughout the year, although the last one with effect in 2023 closes on October 31. Subsequently, in May or June 2024, the Tax Agency will automatically review whether the contribution is adjusted to the income and will make the corresponding corrections, either in the form of a refund or surcharge. From the Union of Professionals and Self-Employed Workers (UPTA), the association linked to UGT, they consider that the pace of adaptation is high and add that there was already a considerable number of self-employed workers who made the change at the end of 2022. A figure that they estimate at 15% added.
Its president, Eduardo Abad, estimates that many self-employed workers will make the change at the end of the year when they have more precise data on what the amount of their income will be and, therefore, in what bracket they have to contribute. He also adds that some will stop doing it voluntarily and then, "they will be complicit in the noise that is going to be made, complicit in the noise", alluding to possible protests when next year there is a surcharge for the self-employed who have contributed in sections lower than the that would have corresponded to their income.The ministry positively values the pace of change in the contribution base, also highlighting that no impact has been detected in the modification of the bases, in a new process that will end up profoundly transforming the contribution system for the self-employed.
