The organizations that group the self-employed in Spain have shown their indignation upon learning that the draft General State Budgets (PGE) for 2022 provides for an increase in both the monthly quotas and the contribution base for self-employed workers from of the next year.

With these new measures, with which the Government intends to increase its collection by 173 million euros,

the minimum contribution base will be increased (960.60 euros) and the fixed rate will go from 30.6% to 30.9%

.

For practical purposes, this is going to mean that the 1.8 million freelancers who contribute for the minimum base pay eight euros more in quota per month.

"This will cause a self-employed person to have to

pay between 96 and 225 euros more next year

, depending on whether they are self-employed, a natural person or a self-employed company," denounced the president of the Association of Self-Employed Workers (ATA), Lorenzo Amor , who believes that this "is not the best time" to implement a measure of this nature.

Amor, in addition, has affirmed that many self-employed workers are still "on the wire" and recalled that the group has been enduring a "complicated" situation for years.

Along the same lines, the Union of Professional and Self-Employed Workers (UPTA) have regretted that only Esquerra Republica de Cataluña (ERC) has presented a non-law proposal before the Congress of Deputies to stop this measure.

"It is inconceivable,

we do not give credit to the laziness with which we are being treated

in the fiscal sphere. We do not understand the repeated refusal of the Ministries of Economy and Finance to put a stop to one of the greatest fiscal injustices suffered by the collective of self-employed workers ", stressed the president of UPTA, Eduardo Abad.

From UPTA, in addition, they have criticized that this Budget project does not include deductions for maintenance, a situation with which more than 1.2 million self-employed workers "are harmed."
