The self-employed fee It is one of the big expenses that every self-employed person must face. During the beginning of the activity, until it is consolidated, it can be a significant brake on starting any project. This is why, during the first year, there is the option of benefit from a flat rate The amount of which is 80 euros in 2024. However, some communities have decided to go one step further and subsidize 100% of this fee to encourage self-employment and eliminate the fee for at least the first 12 months.

- In Andalusia we can find what is known as “Zero Fee”. Since last January 2, it is possible to apply for the subsidy through which the flat rate of 85 euros for 12 months it is 100% discounted, so you do not have to pay any euro to be self-employed. Initially, it lasts one year. But if it is demonstrated that the net performance does not exceed the SMI, the same bonus will be available during the second full year.
In addition, it has the peculiarity that all self-employed workers who registered since January 1, 2023, can benefit from the retroactivity of the measure and they may request a refund of the fees paid, as long as they have completed 12 months of duration while being registered as self-employed.

It is important to keep in mind that in the Community of Madrid we must continue paying the corresponding fee. However, at the end of the 12 months we can request the repayment of all fees.

More communities
In addition to Andalusia, the Community of Madrid and the Canary Islands, some other communities have carried out similar plans in recent years. Although, in some cases, we must meet certain conditions to be able to access them, such as not exceeding a certain age, for example. This is the case of the Balearic Islands, which kept a 100% bonus active for those under 35 years of age and women during 2023. Castilla y León, for its part, chose to extend the state flat rate for an additional six months during the second year of activity, instead of incentivizing the first 12 months.
If you are thinking of registering as self-employed, the best thing you can do is request an appointment to be able to inform you of all possible help that you can find in your autonomous community to promote self-employment.
