The Social Security will propose to freeze the quotas of self-employed persons with lower incomes by 2026
"The proposal on which the Ministry is working and which is listening to the collective, for next year, involves the freezing of the first three sections in the lowest part of the table," said Elma Saiz, Minister for Social Inclusion, Social Security and Migration.
The Ministry of Social Integration, Social Security and Migration has proposed the freezing of the quotas of self-employed persons with lower incomes, thus amending the decision taken last week to increase the quotas of self-employed persons by 2026, as confirmed in El País by Elma Saiez, Minister of Inclusion.
"The proposal on which the Ministry is working and which is listening to the collective, for next year, involves the freezing of the first three sections on the lowest side of the table, "the minister said.
In this interview, the Minister states that a self-employed person who has worked for a lifetime and then retires receives much less than a wage earner, namely EUR 650 less, so the Minister stresses that 'contributions are the only way to alleviate this gap'.
"I myself stood behind the banner, when I was autonomous, in the governments of (José María) Aznar, claiming the contribution of real income, which is nothing more than to quote for what one earns. This was resolved in 2022 with a law voted in Congress by 260 votes in favour, also of the PP, which was also supported by all the associations with the highest representation of the self-employed (ATA, UPTA and Uatae)," explains Saiz.
However, Saiz says that the Government "in no way" intends to repeal the law on the income contribution system , which "took many years to pass."
The Ministry of Social Inclusion will meet again this Monday at 11:30 a.m. with the Autonomous Agencies ATA, UPTA and Uatae and the social partners, at which they will continue to discuss the new quotas to be paid by the self-employed in the coming years.
