What measures can I take?
If you are an SME or a self-employed person, you can postpone the payment of taxes
Because of the COVID-19 crisis, the Treasury allows a 6-month postponement of taxes such as withholdings of personal income tax, payment of VAT, or fractional payments of Corporation Tax. Both self-employed and SMEs, which are those companies with less than 250 workers and less than 50 million euros of annual turnover or that have a balance sheet of less than 43 million euros, can benefit from this measure. This deferment will not have deferment interest for the first 3 months. Find out more here.
If your business or company has made temporary redundancies, you are exempt from paying Social Security contributions
This exemption will be in force while the temporary redundancy lasts; that is, as long as your company or business has suspended employment or reduced working hours. If your company has fewer than 50 workers, the exemption will be total, while if your company has 50 or more workers registered with Social Security, the exemption will be 75%. More information here.
