Form 111 is a monthly or quarterly statement of personal income tax withholdings made to workers, professionals and businessmen. It is a model that must be presented by the self-employed and companies with workers hired on the payroll or who have contracted services to freelancers who bill them with deductions.
Who has the obligation to submit the Form 111?
Any type of employer, professional or company that monthly or quarterly (it will be monthly for Large Companies) has withheld (discounted) part of the amounts corresponding to employee payroll, professional invoices, purchase invoices for some activities, and other less frequent cases.
It means that, every one or three months, the self-employed, or the SME, has to deliver to the Treasury the percentage of money that they have not paid to their workers on the payroll, or to other self-employed professionals on the invoices, to deliver it to the administration in name of these. It is a money on account that the Treasury later returns, as appropriate, to the worker or employer, via the personal income tax return.
A withholding will have to be applied in the following cases:
- Work income: payroll, settlements, etc.

- Professional activities, for example, to an advisor
- Agricultural and livestock activities
- Forestry activities
- Business activities in objective estimation (activities in modules that are obliged to retain 1%)
- Intellectual, industrial property, mines, etc.
