Paying your self-employment taxes in Spain with your N26 Business account

As a freelancer in Spain, there are lots of things to keep in mind when choosing your main business account. Making sure your bank doesn’t charge any fees for opening or managing your account, withdrawing cash, sending or receiving international transfers, or for foreign transactions are all important factors to consider. Plus, if you’re self-employed, you’ll need a bank account that allows you to pay your taxes.

Yes! We are a collaborating entity with the Spanish Social Security system, which means that you can collect your benefits on your N26 account, and in case you are self-employed, pay your own contribution or the Social Security contribution of your household employees.

You can use your N26 account to file your income tax return and pay taxes such as VAT or personal income tax, as well as to pay your self-employed or household employee's social security contributions if you have a household employee.

All you have to do is go to the Social Security electronic office and log in using one of the options that appear on the screen (password or digital certificate, electronic ID card, etc.), selecting the benefit you wish to apply for. Once there, fill in the information requested, indicating the IBAN of your N26 account and that's it!

Despite needing a separate account to pay your self-employment taxes, an N26 Business account is so advantageous that it makes having two bank accounts worthwhile. You can transfer funds into your N26 account to enjoy all the advantages we have to offer, plus receive cashback for all purchases made with your N26 Mastercard.
