Phase 1: Determination of total work performance

Monetary income from work must be computed for the full or gross amount accrued, that is, without discounting the amounts that have been deducted by the payer as deductible expenses or the withholdings on account of IRPF made on said income.

For the purposes of completing the self-assessment, if the income is received in a currency other than the euro, it must be converted into the latter currency by applying the official exchange rate. For these purposes, and according to the provisions of article 36 of Law 46/1998, of December 17, 1998, on the introduction of the Euro, the official exchange rate of the national currency in relation to other currencies will be considered to be that published for the euro by the European Central Bank, either itself or through the Bank of Spain.

The income from work in kind must be computed by the amount resulting from adding to the value of the remuneration received, determined in accordance with the rules indicated in the corresponding section of this same Chapter, the payment on account that should have been made by the payer of the same, provided that its amount has not been passed on to the worker.
