Help for Autónomos

David Wilde • 31 March 2020

This post is a copy of an email that was sent out last week to our autónomo clients:

Please note that this only applies to autónomos who haven't had the obligation to close their business (such as bars, restaurants, gyms etc.)

We inform you about your individual situation, as you do not have an obligation to close your business, we are going to proceed to request a CESE of the self-employed for economical reasons, this means that we can request if you have invoiced in the month of March 75% less than what you invoiced in October, November, December, January, February and March. 
This request form can only be done we when we have the quarter ready to present, this means from April, for this reason we request that you send all your invoices as soon as possible. Once the request form has been sent, it has to be approved, if it is approved this means that you do not have to pay autónomo and you would receive 70% of your contribution base ( more or less 650€). The request for the CESE of activity can be requested form the 14/03/2020 that means that the allowance will be dated from that date, and in the case that the autonomo has been 31/03/2020 we can request the refund of it. 
During the next week we are going to be informing you of the new news that comes out, please take NO notice of the news that go around social media, because in a lot of cases it is fake, do not believe everything that is being said. What is being said in the Boletin Oficial del Estado (BOE) is what is true, this is where we are getting all our information. Please understand that we are working non stop due to this situation, but a lot of the measures that have been said on the media are not ready to be requested , we will keep you informed of the situation of any new changes in your own individual situation. 
We hope you are well, and we really hope this situation ends soon so we can get back to normal.
Take care, and stay safe.
