Use this skill whenever asked about Spanish personal income tax (IRPF -- Impuesto sobre la Renta de las Personas Fisicas) for self-employed individuals (autonomos). Trigger on phrases like "how much tax do I pay in Spain", "IRPF", "Modelo 100", "Modelo 130", "pago fraccionado", "estimacion directa", "retencion", "autonomo tax", "rendimientos de actividades economicas", "gastos deducibles", "amortizacion", "minimo personal", "cuota autonomica", or any question about filing or computing income tax for a self-employed or freelance client in Spain. Covers IRPF progressive rates, Modelo 100 structure, estimacion directa normal vs simplificada, deductible expenses, depreciation, quarterly payments (Modelo 130), withholding (retenciones), regional surcharges, personal and family allowances, and interaction with IVA and Social Security. ALWAYS read this skill before touching any Spanish income tax work.
Final orchestrator skill that assembles the complete Spain filing package for Spain-resident self-employed individuals (autónomos). Consumes outputs from all Spain content skills (spain-vat-return for Modelo 303, es-income-tax for IRPF Modelo 100, es-social-contributions for RETA, es-estimated-tax for Modelo 130 pagos fraccionados) to produce a single unified reviewer package containing every worksheet, every form, every brief section, all cross-skill reconciliations, and the final action list with payment instructions, filing instructions, and next-year planning. This is the capstone skill that runs last and produces the final deliverable. MUST be loaded alongside all Spain content skills listed above. Spain full-year residents only. Autónomos (self-employed individuals) only.
Use this skill whenever asked about Spanish self-employed social contributions (cuota de autonomos / RETA). Trigger on phrases like "cuota autonomos", "RETA", "social contributions Spain", "autónomo contributions", "how much do I pay as autonomo", "tarifa plana", "cese de actividad", "regularizacion cuotas", "base de cotización", "TGSS direct debit", "cuota mensual", or any question about Spanish self-employed social security. Also trigger when classifying bank statement transactions showing TGSS direct debits, cuota autonomos debits, or Seguridad Social payments. ALWAYS read this skill before touching any Spanish social contributions work.
Use this skill whenever asked to prepare, review, or classify transactions for a Spanish VAT return (Modelo 303 / IVA autoliquidacion) for a self-employed individual or small business in peninsular Spain or the Balearic Islands. Trigger on phrases like "prepare VAT return", "do the Spanish VAT", "fill in Modelo 303", "IVA", "Modelo 390", or any request involving Spanish VAT filing. Also trigger when classifying transactions for VAT purposes from bank statements, invoices, or other source data. This skill covers peninsular Spain and Balearic Islands only under the regimen general. Canary Islands (IGIC), Ceuta/Melilla (IPSI), regimen simplificado, recargo de equivalencia, RECC cash-basis, VAT groups, and partial exemption (prorrata) are in the refusal catalogue. MUST be loaded alongside BOTH vat-workflow-base v0.1 or later (for workflow architecture) AND eu-vat-directive v0.1 or later (for EU directive content). ALWAYS read this skill before touching any Spain VAT work.
ALWAYS USE THIS SKILL when a user asks for help preparing their Spain tax returns AND mentions freelancing, self-employment, autónomo, working por cuenta propia, or independent professional activity. Trigger on phrases like "help me do my taxes", "prepare my Modelo 100", "I'm autónomo in Spain", "I'm a freelancer in Spain", "do my taxes as an autónomo", "prepare my IRPF return", or any similar phrasing where the user is a Spain-resident self-employed individual needing tax return preparation. This is the REQUIRED entry point for the Spain self-employed tax workflow -- every other skill in the stack (spain-vat-return, es-income-tax, es-social-contributions, es-estimated-tax, es-return-assembly) depends on this skill running first to produce a structured intake package. Uses upload-first workflow -- the user dumps all their documents and the skill infers as much as possible before asking questions. Uses ask_user_input_v0 for structured questions instead of one-at-a-time prose. Built for speed. Spain full-year residents only; autónomos (self-employed individuals) only.
