The economic situation in Spain is already very complicated and the self-employed are having a really bad time. Among the different options presented to them, there is the option that they can serve while keeping your job as an employee, while performing your activity as self-employed.
But… to what extent is it possible be self-employed and salaried as an employee? What does Social Security say about it? We will study this topic throughout the article.
Everything you need to know about the pluriactivity of the self-employed
The first thing that should be clear to us is that the multiactivity It is not a resource of the self-employed, although in this article we are going to focus on it that way.
La multiactivity it is a situation in which a person is self-employed and salaried at the same time. This means that he will work in his business and for another company's business in the same period of time.
Regardless of the activity that has occurred before, if these two activities coincide in time, in the face of Social Security it will be considered multi-activity and, in fact, that is how it appears in the Laboral life.
Here we must mention an important distinction: Pluriactivity is not the same as moonlighting. This last concept would be related to the option for a person to manage 2 jobs at the same time.
What does it take to be salaried and self-employed?
The truth is that no special process will have to be done, since everything is automatic. If you are already working as a salaried employee and the procedures to be self-employed are carried out, the modality of plurality in working life.
There is some aid which can be very interesting, but these will only be applied in the case of a natural person who is already an employee and decides to register as self-employed, not the other way around.
In short, the process to register is the usual one: you will have to complete the registration at the Tax Agency and in the Social security.
Why is pluriactivity interesting?
The main reason for choosing this modality is the economic security which the formula reports. In the event that the income of the self-employed fails, or that the job as a salaried employee is lost, at least there will be a second option so as not to run out of income.
Being your own boss also gives you a certain freedom, as well as many prospects for growth.
Furthermore, there are certain bonuses that allow us to reduce the self-employed quota by a certain amount for some time. These depend on whether the job is part-time or not, among other assumptions.
It should also be borne in mind that the discounts are not compatible with other aid, such as the case of the flat rate for freelancers. It will be necessary to review what is the most rewarding on each occasion.
Now you know why the multiactivity can be such an interesting resource.
