The flat rate involves a reduction in the contribution for those self-employed workers who are initially registered in the Special Regime for Self-Employed Workers (RETA) and have not been registered in this Special Regime in the 5 immediately preceding years. This measure will allow the start of the activity as a self-employed worker to pay a reduced monthly fee.
