The Government proposes a new proposal for the RETA: quotas of between 250 and 550 euros for the self-employed

MADRID, 30 May. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The Ministry of Inclusion, Social Security and Migration has submitted a new proposal to self-employed organizations and social agents for the contribution for real income of the self-employed in which it proposes quotas of between 250 and 550 euros per month for the period 2023- 2025.

The president of UPTA, Eduardo Abad, has revealed on his Twitter account the new table of quotas proposed by the Government and that, based on the net income of the self-employed, determines what they should pay into Social Security if this proposal is approved .

Specifically, the Executive proposes that in the first six sections, corresponding to net returns of between 670 and 1,700 euros per month, the self-employed pay Social Security between 250 and 294 euros of monthly fee, which would mean reductions of between 52 and 65 euros compared to what they pay now on average monthly.

On the other hand, in the remaining seven sections, which range from 1,701 to 4,050 euros per month of net income, the self-employed would have to pay Social Security a fee of between 400 and 550 euros per month, which means between 35 and 107 euros more per month compared to the current average.

In this way, based on this proposal, the self-employed with monthly net income of 670 euros or less would have to pay a fee of 250 euros per month, compared to the current monthly average of 307 euros. In this section of income would be just over 1.3 million self-employed.

For those who earn between 671 and 900 euros per month (about 220,000 self-employed) a quota of 260 euros is proposed, in contrast to the monthly average of 315 euros, and for those who earn between 901 and 1,125.9 euros (about 352,000 self-employed ) the fee would be 270 euros, 52 euros less than those currently paying on average.

For those with net income of between 1,125.9 and 1,300 euros (about 312,000 self-employed), the proposed contribution reaches 290 euros per month (52 euros less than the average), and for income between 1,301 and 1,700 euros per month, where find some 230,000 self-employed workers, the monthly fee would be 294 euros per month, about 60 euros less than what is paid now on average.

As of the seventh tranche, the installments to be paid are above the monthly average, that is, they would pay more than what they currently pay on average. Thus, for the 87,000 self-employed whose net income is in the range of between 1,701 and 1,900 euros per month, a fee of 400 euros per month is proposed.

For the 146,500 self-employed workers who earn between 1,901 and 2,330 euros per month, the proposed fee is 440 euros; for the 104,000 who have net returns of between 2,331 and 2,760, a fee of 460 euros is proposed; for the 77,000 self-employed with income between 2,761 and 3,190, a fee of 480 euros is proposed, and for those who earn between 3,191 and 3,620 euros (57,000 self-employed), a fee of 500 euros is requested.

Finally, for net income between 3,621 and 4,050, where there are some 44,500 self-employed, the Government's proposal points to a fee of 520 euros, and for those who earn more than 4,050 euros per month (some 236,000 self-employed), the fee to enter would be 550 euros.

"We will not give up the effort to change the current contribution system for the self-employed. It is fair that those who can least have to make less effort. Those who are lucky enough to have more have to contribute more. No one can be against", defended Abad on his Twitter account.

For his part, the president of ATA, Lorenzo Amor, has expressed his organization's rejection of this new proposal for government installments because, according to a complaint, it implies "raising between 33% and 90% the contributions to the self-employed who earn more than 1,700 euros per month and lower only 15% to those who earn less (670 euros per month)". "With the one that is falling in this country and the one that is about to fall!" complains Amor.
