Overview
- Feijóo pledged a two‑year “cuota cero” for self‑employed workers who become parents, alongside a separate two‑year exemption upon returning from maternity or paternity leave.
- He proposed exempting new self‑employed from Social Security contributions in their first year, with a possible second year for low earners or those under 35.
- The plan includes hiring incentives that waive employer contributions for the first employee for one year and cut them by 50% for a second employee in that first year.
- He vowed a VAT exemption for those billing under €85,000 annually and fewer filings, shifting newcomers to one annual return and established workers to two per year.
- Additional measures would halt contributions from the first day of serious illness, allow receiving 100% of the pension while continuing to work, align lactation rights, and raise certainty on deductible expenses, with ATA present as estimates of beneficiaries differ.
