Forms 038 to 180

Form 171

The filing of form 171 requires identification with an electronic certificate issued in the name of the declarant or electronic DNI .If the taxpayer does not have an electronic certificate, the person filing must be authorised to file returns on behalf of third parties, either by being registered as a social partner or by being authorised to do so.

The filing is made using TGVI online, a system that validates whether the file contains correct and incorrect records, allowing the filing of the correct records, downloading a file with the incorrect records and a file with a list of errors so that, once they have been corrected, they can be sent by means of supplementary returns.

To avoid errors of identification, we recommend that you first purge each company's taxpayer census using the Tax Identification Service

It will be necessary to have a file with the tax return to be sent, with the data adjusted to the published registry design.

Once identified, fill in the NIF of the filing taxpayer and make sure that 171 and 2022 are selected in the "Form" and "Year" fields, respectively.

To send a file, click on "Read File” and then "Select file to validate” 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 by means of the “Read file” option, any previous sending for the selected combination of Form + Financial Year + Period + Taxpaer NIF will be lost, since only the last validation will be recovered.

Make sure that the data is correct and click on "Validate" to send the file.

During the sending, two progress bars will appear informing the validation percentage of both the file and the records.

At the end of the sending, the summary of the validation result is displayed.

N.B.:In this step of the process, only the file is validated.The submission can be formalised in subsequent steps.

If the validation is correct, you will be able to process the submission and obtain the corresponding receipt.If errors are detected, the breakdown of correct and incorrect records will be included and the options "Submit correct records", "Download incorrect records" and "Download error messages" will be available.
