Hi all, I am due to take some people around the area and show them around some houses, The person I am doing it for has a legit shop and has been in business for many years. I have been told that I do not need to do anything with my social security number until I earn my first wage which could be anything from 6 weeks to 3 months but I know that to be self employed you need to pay taxes each month with the first month starting at 50 euros then slowly it goes up to 300 euros a month to help you get started.

So, my question is

Do I need to be paying this tax even though I have not earned any money yet? (it is a commission based job)

Thanks in advance

What you're referring to isn't tax; it's the social security payment by an autónomo, i.e. a self-employed person. For the first twelve months it's €50 a month, after which it goes up to €270.
