Escrivá will receive the yes at dawn from the CEOE, the last organization that failed to ratify its latest proposal, and from January the fees will vary between 230 and 500 euros
Finally white smoke for the new premium system for the self-employed. From 2023, this group, who until now chose how much to pay to social security, will gradually start contributing based on their real income. After months and months of tense and intense negotiations, the Minister of Social Security, José Luis Escrivá, has reached an agreement in principle with the social agents and the main organizations representing the group. And that outside the deadline agreed with Brussels, which expired on June 30, as the minister has given priority on this occasion to reach a broad consensus.
The last organization to say yes was ATA, which negotiated all day yesterday to close “some margins” that were missing and announced its support for the text at dawn. “It has cost, but now yes. We reached a preliminary agreement with the Ministry of Inclusion this morning,” the president, Lorenzo Amor, announced on Twitter. Throughout the morning, the new text will be submitted to the CEOE and Cepyme governing bodies for ratification.
The road to consensus has not been an easy one at all, for which Escrivá has had to make an important series of concessions, so that the former proposal has nothing to do with the latter. Finally, the government has set the premiums for the more than 3.3 million self-employed for the next three years – instead of nine, as was originally intended – with quotas that will be between 230 and 500 euros in 2023 – compared to the maximum EUR 1,125 he raised at the beginning, and will be gradually adjusted over the next two years. Likewise, it goes back and maintains the flat rate for any new entrepreneur, without limiting it to those who earn less than the minimum interprofessional salary (SMI), although it will increase it from the current 60 euros to 80 euros over the next three years.
In order to reach this agreement, Escrivá had to lower the rates for people with lower incomes even further, to the point that by 2025 the minimum will be lowered to 200 euros per month, 94 euros less than now, thus reducing the savings for people with low incomes. over 1.3 million self-employed with a net income of less than 670 euros amounts to 1,127 euros per year.
But this is just one of the 15 sections established by the new listing model for the next three years. In 2023, the rates will be between 230 euros and 500 euros; in 2024 they will be between 225 euros and 530 euros; and in 2025, the range will be between 200 euros and 590 euros, double the share that is now, but only half of what Escrivá planned to implement in the beginning.
The new system means a saving of EUR 767 for those earning less than EUR 670, which increases to EUR 1,127 in 2025. And the fact is that their quota in 2023 will be 230 in 2023, EUR 225 in 2024 and EUR 200 in 2025.
For their part, those who declare a net income of more than 6,000 euros will have to pay 3,500 euros more within three years when their quota of 500 euros expires next year, 530 euros in 2024 and 590 euros from 2025.
