To start invoicing for your services, it's crucial that you first register as a freelancer (autónomo) with the Tax Authorities (Hacienda). You need to complete the model 036 o 037 to notify them that you are starting your business activity.
Once you have registered as autónomo, you start having tax obligations with the tax authorities. There are two different taxes that apply to your activity as a freelancer:
- Value Added Tax (VAT)
- Personal Income Tax (IRPF)
Keep in mind that you must have sufficient funds available in your bank account to make the tax payments when they are due.
Additionally, remember that you will need to pay the Social Security Contribution (autónomo fee).
