We have to go back several years to find a claim for late fees, in a staggered manner.

From January 1, 2018, the surcharge for late payment of Social Security contributions is reduced from the current 20% to 10% if the contributions due are paid in the first calendar month following their accrual.

This new development will affect not only the self-employed but also companies.

Thus, once the regulatory period established for the payment of Social Security contributions has elapsed without payment thereof, and without prejudice to the special provisions for deferrals, the following surcharges will accrue:

Once the regulatory period established for the payment of Social Security contributions has elapsed without payment thereof and without prejudice to the special provisions for deferrals, the following surcharges will accrue:

• When the parties responsible for payment have fulfilled within the deadline the obligations established in paragraphs 1 and 2 of Article 29:

1. A 10 percent surcharge will be applied to the debt if the due installments are paid within the first calendar month following the due date for payment.

2. A 20 percent surcharge will be applied to the debt if the due installments are paid from the second calendar month following the due date for payment.

• When the parties responsible for payment have not fulfilled within the period the obligations established in paragraphs 1 and 2 of Article 29:

1. A 20 percent surcharge will be applied to the debt if the due installments are paid before the end of the payment period established in the debt claim or settlement document.

2. A 35 percent surcharge will be applied to the debt if the due installments are paid after the end of the payment period.

Debts to Social Security that are considered public revenue and whose object consists of resources other than contributions, when not paid within the regulatory period established, will be increased by a surcharge of 20 percent

Además a partir del 1 de enero de 2018 será obligatoria la domiciliación bancaria de los recibos de autónomos así como las notificaciones electrónicas. Desde Ambit Assessor animamos a todos los trabajadores autónomos que todavía no dispongan de certificado digital que lo obtengan a la mayor brevedad posible. Podemos ayudarle con este cometido gracias a nuestro Servicio de Notificaciones Electrónicas, con el que le garantizamos la recepción de las comunicaciones de la Administración Tributaria y de la Seguridad Social, de forma personalizada y confidencial.

This measure is important in order to facilitate social security contributions and to reduce the administrative burden on self-employed workers.
