The Taxation Agency (DGII) has assured that of the 1,500 people who reported this year that they received income from different jobs, 631 have been regularized their situation, or 40% of the total.
The number of those with multiple jobs represents 0.08% of the approximately 1.8 million citizens employed, according to the Social Security registers.
Via a press release, the DGII informed that while in 2012 some 1,500 people had reported that they had more than one job, rising to 3,000 in 2016 of those indicating to having received more than one salary and who reported it correctly.
Every year the DGII reports the ceiling for non-taxable wages. Those receiving more than that income, notwithstanding working for an organized business, need to report on the total sum.
