Registry of Economic Activities (IAE): Self-employed individuals must register in the Registry of Economic Activities (IAE) corresponding to their main economic activity. This involves paying a municipal tax based on the activity carried out.
Invoicing and Accounting: Self-employed individuals are required to keep adequate records of their economic activity, including issuing invoices for services rendered or products sold. They must also maintain proper accounting of their income and expenses.
