Benefit for Cessation of Activity of Self-Employed and work in agricultural employment

The self-employed beneficiaries of the benefit for cessation of activity cannot make it compatible with work for someone else in agricultural work.

The cessation benefit for self-employed or self-employed workers is regulated in art. 17 of RD Law 8/2020.

In point 4 of art. 17 expressly states that "The time of its perception will be understood as quoted, there will be no obligation to contribute and it will not reduce the benefit periods for cessation of activity to which the beneficiary may be entitled in the future."

This implies that during the receipt of the benefit for cessation of activity, self-employed or self-employed workers SHALL NOT HAVE THE OBLIGATION to contribute during that period.

The compatibility of labor benefits, including cessation for activity, for the performance of work for others on agricultural holdings, is regulated in article 3 b) of Royal Decree-Law 13/2020, which indicates that the benefit due to cessation of activity originating from the measures provided for in art. 17 of RD-Law 8/2020, are EXCLUDED from the compatibility between work for others and benefit for cessation of activity.

Which implies that Self-employed or self-employed workers who are recipients of the benefit for cessation of activity and are hired to carry out agricultural activities, will not be entitled to the benefit for cessation of activity. They will not be able to make the benefit compatible with work for someone else in agricultural work.

Likewise, when the right to the benefit for cessation of activity ceases, the exemption from contributions will automatically extinguish, restoring their obligation to contribute to the Special Regime for Self-Employed Workers (RETA), for which reason the exemption from contributing is lost in accordance with the indicated in RD Law 8/2020.
