BPS for sole proprietors and independent workers in Uruguay

Opening independent activity in Uruguay does not end with DGI. BPS manages registration and contributions for many sole proprietors, while some professions use specific para-state pension funds.

Business registration

BPS provides online procedures that can register or restart certain sole proprietorships and coordinate information with DGI. The exact procedure depends on the activity and the owner.

Contributions and healthcare

Social-security contributions cannot be inferred from revenue alone. Category, regime, activity and healthcare status can matter, and Fonasa may also be relevant.

A single operational calendar

• DGI and BPS registration status.
• Separate tax and social-security deadlines.
• Recorded payments and supporting documents.
• Alerts when a change requires registration updates.
