Forms 038 to 180
Skip information indexForm 038
The electronic filing of Form 038 requires identification with an electronic certificate or Cl@ve PIN of the taxpayer.
In addition to the holder of the tax return themselves, a third party acting on their behalf, either a corporate partner or a proxy, may also submit the tax return.
For electronic filing it is necessary to have a file of the return to be sent, with the data adjusted to the registry design of Form 038 in force.
When accessing the filing system, the 038 form will be selected by default, choose the 2022 tax year and you will only need to indicate the taxpayer's NIF and select the month of the tax return from the drop-down menu.To send a file, press "Read File" and then the "Select file to validate" button to select the file.
From the “Recover” option you can reload the last file validated by the application for that form, financial year and NIF.If you choose to validate a new file using the option "Read file" any previous submission for the selected combination of Model + Fiscal year + Period + NIF Declarant will be lost, as only the last validation is retrieved.
The name or business name of the taxpayer, NIF and form/year shall be reported;click on "Validate" to start the file validation.
Once the sending and validation of the file is completed, a summary of the result will be displayed;note that validation does not imply filing of the return.
In the event that incorrect records are found, the breakdown of correct and incorrect records shall be included.
From that moment on, the presenter will have three options:
Submitting correct records
Download incorrect records
Download error messages
