The Junta de Andalucía has enabled a link on its website titled: Subsidies Line 1. Zero quota, where all the information about the procedures to be carried out is available: https://www.juntadeandalucia.es/organismos/empleoempresaytrabajoautonomo/servicios/procedimientos/detalle/25342.html[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]This measure focuses on those who took advantage of the Flat rate state as "new self-employed", that is, those who registered for the first time in the Special Regime for Self-Employed Workers (RETA) during 2023. To be eligible, it is essential that they have completed twelve months of registration, which means that Starting in January 2024, those who registered in January 2023 and benefited from special Social Security reductions can begin their application process.
The application process has been significantly simplified through an online procedure. Rocío Blanco, Minister of Employment, Companies and Self-Employed Workers, highlights the ease of the procedure, which can be carried out using an online form. The return, which can amount to around thousand euros, represents significant economic relief for these workers.
In addition, the measure includes certain specific groups. Self-employed people who left their activity and resumed it after two years can also benefit from this initiative. In particular, for women on maternity leave, adoption, victims of gender violence, and for the self-employed with a disability greater than 33%, the duration of the zero quota is extended to 24 months. These details, highlighted by Lorenzo Amor, president of the Association of Self-Employed, ATA, underline the inclusive commitment of this policy.
With a deadline open until September 30, 2026, the «Zero Fee» becomes a significant opportunity for Andalusian self-employed, not only in terms of immediate economic relief, but also as an incentive for entrepreneurship and continuity in their professional projects. This initiative reflects a clear effort by regional authorities to support this crucial sector, thus fostering a more robust and resilient business environment in Andalusia.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]https://twitter.com/AndaluciaJunta/status/1743659951120142624[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]
Information from the Employment Department
The Ministry of Employment, Business and Self-Employment of Andalusia has launched the initiative known as 'Zero Fee' that allows self-employed workers to request online reimbursement of Social Security fees paid during their first year of activity. This opportunity is especially relevant for those who registered for the first time in the Special Regime for Self-Employed Workers (RETA) and benefited from the state Flat Rate.
From January 2024, self-employed people who started their activities in January 2023 and completed the required 12 months of activity can start their application process online. The Employment Department has simplified this process to guarantee easy and efficient access, eliminating the need to attach additional documentation. Once the application is approved, eligible beneficiaries will receive approximately 1.000 euros, corresponding to one year of Social Security contributions.
The details and regulatory bases of these incentives are available on the website of the Ministry of Employment, Business and Self-Employment. In addition to the new self-employed, other groups can also benefit from the 'Zero Quota'. This includes self-employed workers with disabilities of 33% or more, victims of gender-based violence or terrorism, and women who have ceased their activity for reasons such as motherhood and seek to resume self-employment within the next two years.
A significant aspect of ‘Zero Fee’ is the extended incentive of a second year for certain groups. Women who interrupted their activity due to maternity, those with net annual income less than the minimum interprofessional wage, and self-employed workers with disabilities or victims of gender violence or terrorism, can benefit from up to 24 months of bonuses. To access this second year of incentive, it is necessary to meet certain requirements and, in some cases, submit a second application.
The Employment Counselor, Rocío Blanco, has highlighted the efficiency of the application process, which is fully automated and promises quick payments. Furthermore, she has emphasized the compatibility of this measure with other aid at the beginning of the activity, which can reach up to 5.500 euros.
This initiative represents a significant step towards supporting and encouraging self-employment in Andalusia, offering substantial financial relief and facilitating a more conducive environment for the growth and stability of self-employed people in the region.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][ /vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]
