There are two distinct processes that will allow you to work legally as a freelancer (aut贸nomo)in Spain. Once completed, you will become an aut贸nomo.
The first step is registering as an individual professional with Hacienda (Tax Office), which will allow you to issue invoices for your work. This procedure is done with Hacienda and is free of charge. Keep in mind that once you register, you will be obligated to submit your VAT and the personal income tax returns quarterly (IRPF).
The registration with RETA (Special Scheme for Aut贸nomos) is carried out with Social Security, which is an additional step with another independent Administration. This procedure is also free, but from the moment you register, you will need to start paying a monthly fee (aut贸nomo鈥檚 cuota).
