Note on the dates in the calendar
This calendar will work as a reference for most of the self-employed, although there are specific cases which work differently. It is advisable to get information on which obligations apply to each professional category.
VAT forms, for example, are only required for business or professional activities which require the issuance of an invoice with VAT. Conferences, courses and journalistic collaborations with newspapers are exempt.
On the other hand, all self-employed workers are required to file personal income tax returns. You can choose to do it quarterly or monthly.
