Tax And Autonomo

[lizziee]

In words of one syllable, can anyone please explain the tax system to me? I'm confused (and it doesn't take much).

Hi Lezzie

My name is Juan Carlos.  I have seen your ad in the board and decided to give you some help.

I am a native South African of Spanish origin living in Salamanca since I was 12 but I have worked in Ireland and UK.

Well let's go to the point since I think I can help you.  I am starting my own business in Salamanca province as a business advisor in marketing and management/translator/interpretor so I have the same problems as you.

There are two basic taxes for autonomos ( self- employed )

The social security or seguridad social where you pay a basic and you have no unemployment rights although there are private companies ofering this supplement.

And the IRPF ( an income tax ) the rates of which vary.

You have discounts on the income tax for your business purposes.

There is also an IVA tax ( or VAT ) which is done every third month I think.

Besides this there is not much complication.

ON THE IRPF side of things there is what are termed MODULOS or modules whereby you will be allocated a tax regime so to speak depending on what activity you are going into.  That is entirely up to the tax office.
