Independent workers have until the end of the month to submit their quarterly declaration to Social Security. This document must outline the income earned in January, February, and March.
“If you are an Independent Worker, you have until April 30 to submit your quarterly declaration. In this declaration, you must report the income received in January, February, and March 2025, which will be used to calculate the contributions for the months of April, May, and June 2025,” states the Social Security website.
Upon submitting the quarterly declaration, you will receive a notification in your Social Security Direct Message Box indicating the contributory base rate set for the following months and the expected contribution amount.
Monthly Contributions: How Do They Work?
“Monthly, Social Security calculates the contribution amount to be paid. This amount may vary from the estimated contribution due to unforeseen events, such as inability to work due to illness, which may affect the amount payable. Social Security records this amount in your current account and simultaneously sends a message to your Social Security Direct Message Box, informing you that a new contributory obligation has been created,” explains the Social Security Institute (ISS).
The contribution amounts due can be viewed in Social Security Direct » Current Account » Current Position » Amounts Due » Current Contributions, indicating the payment deadline for the respective month.
“Additionally, contributions from previous months that have surpassed their payment deadline, along with any applicable interest, can be accessed in the Social Security Direct » Current Account » Current Position » Amounts Due, under the “Past Due Contributions” tab,” it states.
This allows individuals to select the amounts they wish to pay and issue the corresponding payment document, enabling more efficient management of their contributory obligations. Alternatively, the automatic payment document issued by Social Security can be used.
