Did you know that in Spain you have to pay flat €250 a month for the pleasure of being a freelance designer? It is a social tax and it comes even before income tax, whether you had income in this particular month or not. This is €3000/year only to be registered for freelance.
I would love to be mistaken and be corrected on this, that's the info I got from a few freelancers in Barcelona.For comparison, in the UK, if you register as a Sole Trader and have no income, you only pay £2 a week (or correct me).
In Ireland, you pay 3% to 5% of your income (but minimum about €250 a year).- thats pretty hefty.
akrokdesign - then again, it pays for other things. which one or an other way, has to get payed.akrokdesign
- yeah, in the UK you pay about £2(ish) a week in NI contributions as a sole trader.jar
