Population scope

The statistics presented in the Labor Market and Pensions section of tax sources are a census-based investigation whose population framework consists of all companies and entities that pay certain types of remuneration: wages, pensions and unemployment benefits; and by the relationship of perceptions and perceivers of these types. From the perspective of the withholding agent, the declarants of form 190 who exclusively pay and withhold other types of income are totally excluded from the scope of study, namely income from economic activities (agricultural or professional), exempt income, prizes, transfer of image rights, as well as the income of directors and administrators. From the perspective of the withheld party, the following are also excluded: the income listed in the previous section related to the selected withholding agents and the income of those withheld who have tax domicile in the Foral Territories, regardless of whether the corresponding withholdings have been paid to the State Treasury or to the Foral Treasuries.
