TheGeneral Treasury of the Social Security (TGSS) has started the staggered sending of notifications to self-employed individuals with the individualized results of the regularization of their contributions for the year 2023. This process will extend until April and occurs after the transmission of net income data by the Tax Agency (AEAT).
Each notification will be personalized and will include the final contribution base, the corresponding fee, and instructions on how to proceed based on the case.
Issues to consider
Because in 2023 the new contribution system of the RETA came into effect, based on the annual net income declared to the AEAT (Tax Agency), instead of a fixed fee chosen by the self-employed individual.
The process will take place from November 2024 to April 2025, when the regularization process will be considered closed.
Contribution higher than required: The self-employed individual may request a refund of the excess or waive it (keeping the contributions made for future benefits).
Correct contribution: No action is required.
Contribution lower than required: The difference must be paid within a specified period, without surcharge
No. The public benefits received during 2023 are consolidated and will not be modified.
Each notification will be personalized and will include the final contribution base, the corresponding fee, and instructions on how to proceed based on the case.
Log in regularly (at least once a week) to their electronic notification mailbox to check for any pending messages, as a notification is considered "read" automatically 10 days after it becomes available.
No. Notifications from other entities (AEAT, traffic, subsidies...) can also arrive, so checking the mailbox is essential to avoid penalties or loss of rights.
