However, in recent years, this group has undergone a series of reforms that have substantially modified its legal, fiscal and administrative framework. In this context, the renewal of self-employment not only implies the continuation of the activity, but also the adaptation to a constantly evolving regulatory environment. ✍️ Contribution based on real income: a structural change Since January 2023, the contribution system for the self-employed is based on real income, that is, on the net earnings obtained by the worker. This model replaced the previous free-choice contribution system, which allowed choosing the contribution base regardless of income. The new scheme includes 15 income brackets, ranging from less than €670 per month to more than €6,000, with progressive fees seeking greater contributive equity. This system, although fairer in theory, has generated tensions. For 2026, the Government has proposed a revision of the fees, with increases between 1 % and 2.5 % for the higher brackets and a freeze for lower incomes. However, self-employed associations consider these measures insufficient if they are not accompanied by improvements in social protection, such as access to benefits for cessation of activity, illness or retirement. Renewal of the residence and self-employment permit For foreign entrepreneurs, the renewal of the temporary residence and self-employment permit has also been subject to reform. Organic Law 4/2000 and its regulation updated in 2024 have simplified procedures, reducing the documentary burden and easing requirements. Now, applicants may prove the continuity of their activity through more accessible means, such as invoicing, contracts, or certificates of registration with the Tax Agency and Social Security. In addition, it is now possible to combine self-employment with employment as an employee, which expands work options and facilitates the economic integration of immigrants. This measure responds to the need to adapt the labor market to the reality of new professional profiles, which combine entrepreneurship with salaried employment. Perspectives and challenges The renewal of self-employment is not just an administrative procedure, but an opportunity to reflect on the model of self-employed worker that Spain needs. Digitalization, the collaborative economy and the rise of teleworking are redefining the profile of the independent worker. Therefore, it is essential that legislative and tax reforms be accompanied by active policies on training, financing and social protection. Likewise, the political debate on fees and on the implementation schedule of the new contribution system remains open. The Executive’s proposals have encountered resistance in Congress, which could delay or modify their implementation. In this scenario, the self-employed must stay informed and prepared to adapt to the forthcoming changes. ✨ ⚖️ Welcome to the Online Civil Process offered by MCHM Lawyers.
