Steps to fill in form 036
Although at first it may seem like a very complicated world, when you take the plunge you realise that it is easier than it seems.
First of all, we have to fill in the grounds for the submission. In the document you will find all the information explained, so it will not be difficult to complete it all. You must take into account that you must fill in boxes 130 and 582 if you also want to register as an intra-community operator. If you do not do this, you will then have to register with a new 036 if necessary.
Next, you will have to fill in your identification details. In this case you will not have any problem because you only have to fill in your details. To give you an idea, if you only want to register as a self-employed person, you only have to fill in section 2, the rest should be left blank.
The representative section should only be filled in if it exists. If it does not exist, then it should be left empty and move on to the next section.
The fourth section is the declaration of activity and premises. This is a section to which we must pay more attention to ensure that it is correctly completed. If you have any doubts, you can contact the tax office so that they can answer any questions you may have.
The fifth section is the value added tax section. Here you will have to enter the VAT rate to which you are subject.
Finally, you must fill in section 6 on Personal Income Tax, i.e. the section dedicated to Personal Income Tax.
This may sound complicated, but it is simpler than it sounds.
