Flat rate for self-employed in 2026: actual amount, application requirements, and the risk of losing the bonus
The reduced fee for new self-employed individuals is set at 80 euros as a base fee, although the actual collection in account reaches between 85 and 88 euros monthly after applying the mandatory surcharge of the MEI. To avoid losing this accumulated bonus of nearly 3,000 euros, it is essential to apply for it simultaneously at the exact moment of registering in the RETA.
