The Ministry of Finance has decided include self-employed workers registered in 2024 in the aid package for those affected by the DANA catastrophe. Initially, the Treasury indicated that those self-employed workers who had not filed their income tax return in 2023 they could not accept to the aid package promoted by the government.
Thanks to the pressure of the National Federation of Self-Employed Workers (ATA), which denounced that this requirement was a “comparative grievance”, today the Treasury has published in the “Frequently Asked Questions” section of its website that “If the applicant registered in the census in 2024, the impossibility of submitting the 2023 declaration will not prevent the receipt of aid.”
In this way, the requirement to have submitted personal income tax in 2023 is eliminated, so self-employed people who have their tax domicile, operating establishment or properties affected by the activity in any of the municipalities affected by the DANA, of which the Treasury provides a list, may apply for aid intended to alleviate the effects of the catastrophe.
Although the modification of the decree law is not yet published in the BOE, it is already a official information by appearing on the official channels of the Ministry of Finance. ATAthe main instigator of this change, declared on their social networks: “ATA’s complaints force us to extend the direct aid to those affected by DANA to all self-employed workers registered until October 28 even if they had not submitted personal income tax in 2023.
There are still people outside
However, ATA has stated that there are still freelancers apart from aid. According to the decree law in which the aid package is approved, all those self-employed who were in transit or displaced from the area on October 29 They are unable to qualify for the package. In the same way, “those who were in flat rate or reduced fee less than one year old and women mothers that have been incorporated after motherhood«They are not eligible for these resources either.
From ATA they report that it is essential that it be incorporated into the aid, for example, to the autonomous transporters that they were on the route, since their vehicles could have been affected by the floods. Likewise, they appeal to the need to take into account flat-rate workers because they are at the beginning of their activity, who “must be able to benefit from extraordinary cessation of activity even if they are not contributing for it.”
