All employees in the country must complete the Personal Status Declaration before receiving their January salary.

This document is a new requirement stemming from the “Income Tax Law” and does not entail any additional costs.

Every employee is legally required to fill out the Personal Status Declaration before receiving their January salary.

For employees signing a new contract this year, the status declaration must be signed by both the employer and the employee before the employment relationship begins.

The form is completed only once, and after that, the deductions prescribed by law will be applied.

For individuals with two jobs, deductions can be requested at one workplace—the one where this status has been signed. Consequently, at other workplaces, any income earned during the month will be taxed in full (gross).

Until now, the law required that the income of dual jobholders be consolidated at the end of the year and subjected to taxation after completing the Annual Income Declaration (DIVA).

With the legal changes, taxation will no longer be applied annually but on a monthly basis, while the obligation to complete the Annual Income Declaration remains in force.
