During 2022, taxpayers make their assessment in view of setting a possible payment obligation of this contribution, and the completion of the earned income, underlying the setting of the final obligation in terms of the health insurance contribution, shall be achieved the following year, by filling in Chapter I in the single tax statement. The annual base for the calculation of the health insurance contribution is the equivalent of 12 national minimum gross salaries in force at the deadline for submitting the single tax statement.
