What is it
Beginning in 1996, freelance professionals must register in the Separate Pension Scheme, a pension fund financed by the mandatory social security contributions of insured workers.
Who is it aimed at
It is aimed at freelance professionals:
- without a social security fund, who are VAT number holders;
- of the amateur sports sector;
- With a Professional Register and without a social security fund;
- with a Professional Register and a social security fund to which they are not required to pay a personal contribution, as this is deemed incompatible under the relevant regulation due to their coverage by another form of mandatory social security.
How does it work
The claim must be submitted online to INPS, through the “Registration Claim for Para-subordinate Workers” service (Article 2, paragraph 26, Law no. 335/1995).
After logging into the service with your credentials:
- select the enrolment form for the Separate Pension Scheme;
- fill in the required fields;
- confirm enrolment and complete registration;
- print the receipt.
Processing times of the measure
The ordinary deadline for issuing the measures is set at 30 days under Law no. 241/1990. In some cases the law may set different deadlines.
The table shows the deadlines exceeding thirty days, set by the Institute with a Regulation.
In addition to the terms for the issuance of the measure, the table also indicates the relevant manager.
