Actually, there is only one income tax return for all your sources of income (self-employed, employee, and other private income such as real-estate or stocks) and deductions (business expenses as self-employed, health insurance, donations, etc.).<\/p>\n<p class=\"no-margin font-inter\">\n<p class=\"no-margin font-inter\">You declare (and pay) taxes <b>for the previous fiscal years<\/b>.
