What are the disadvantages of being autonomous

The companies that now hire a worker decrease at times. Not only because of the fact that the situation is not like to have more expenses, but because what was previously known as contracts has practically disappeared. Currently employers prefer to have autonomous people in charge . If you have been offered a job in which you are the one who must register in Social Security, think about it, because as you can read in the following article, being autonomous also has its drawbacks.

The material runs from your account

When you work on your own, the work material you put it, that is, if you have to use folios, print something or take notes in a notebook, you must know that all those office supplies run from your account. Do not expect the employer to provide you with a notebook in which to take note or give you carte blanche to use the printer when you want.

The Social Security

If you know any other self-employed person, they will have told you that they pay their Social Security monthly payments. Exactly, when you sign up for the RETA (Special Scheme for Self-Employed Workers), you will be paid a monthly fee for your social security contributions. Depending on your age you will pay more or less, for example, if you are under 30 years old or meet a series of requirements, during the first 6 months you only pay 50 euros thanks to the flat rate for self-employed workers. But in other cases, it goes from 200 euros to complete the entire quota that is almost 300 euros per month.

Each quarter, at the Treasury

It is one thing to pay Social Security and another to pay VAT to the Treasury. Yes, every self-employed person must make a quarterly VAT declaration that invoices the month. Depending on how your monthly income and expenses have been, you will pay more or less VAT to the Treasury.

No right to unemployment

Surely this you did not expect it. Well, the self-employed have no right to receive unemployment if they are left without work . However, this clause can be requested in the Social Security, but of course, the monthly fee of the SS is increased to be entitled to unemployment benefit.

Higher benefits, more taxes

If the benefits you receive for developing your business activity exceed 45, 000 euros annually, you will pay many more taxes than if instead of being autonomous you were incorporated as a company.
