Freelancer Setup (Autónomo)

Managed Service

Freelancer Setup (Autónomo)

Setting up as self-employed in Spain involves registering with both Hacienda and Social Security, choosing the right tax regime, and meeting ongoing quarterly obligations. We coordinate all of it through a licensed gestoría — so you can start working without admin headaches.

What we handle

Hacienda Registration (IAE)

Register your activity with the Spanish Tax Agency using the correct IAE economic activity code for your profession.

RETA Registration

Enrol in the self-employed Social Security regime (RETA) and set up your monthly contribution payments correctly from the start.

Tax Regime Selection

We advise on simplified vs. normal VAT/IRPF regimes so you start with the optimal structure for your income level and activity.

Ongoing Obligations Briefing

Understand your quarterly VAT (Modelo 303), quarterly IRPF (Modelo 130), and annual obligations before your first invoice goes out.

How it works

1

Share your profile

Tell us your activity type, nationality, NIE status, and expected revenue. The form takes under 3 minutes.

2

We prepare your registration file

Our team coordinates your document checklist and packages everything needed for both Hacienda and Social Security filings.

3

Partner completes your registration

A licensed gestoría files both registrations on your behalf. You receive your autónomo certificates and a summary of your quarterly obligations.

Please note: Autónomo registration triggers mandatory Social Security contributions from the first month. Enter Spain coordinates this service through licensed, independent gestorías. Processing timelines depend on your NIE status and local office availability.
