DESPITE the ongoing coronavirus crisis, Spain’s 3.2 million self-employed workers still had to pay their €283 social security contributions at the beginning of April.
Although many have closed their businesses, the coronavirus blockade, the cars used (“autonomous” in Spanish) will have to cough in early May.
The own person who obtains benefits to prevent activity can request their social security contractions, but 360,000 are in this situation, or 11. 2%.
A moratorium will enter into force for contributions by May and June, according to the Royal ENUE 11/2020.
These contributions will have to be paid within six months of an application and will have an interest rate of 0. 5%.
