Self-employed

The National Labor Court ruled that a self-employed worker injured on the job is not covered by the National Insurance Institute if registration was completed after the accident. Despite the worker contacting an accountant, the court held that this did not constitute valid insurance coverage at the time of the injury.

The Institute updates that today is the deadline for monthly reporting and payment for self-employed individuals and employers, and warns against severe financial sanctions and linkage for those who do not settle their debt on time.

The National Insurance Institute reminds self-employed individuals and employers that the deadline for reporting and paying insurance premiums is August 16. Delays will result in fines and significant linkage differentials.
