Forms 190 to 198
Skip information indexForm 198 Filing by file
For the filing of form 198, if the return contains more than 40,000 records, it must be submitted through the file option, although files with any number of records may be submitted.
Internet filing requires identification via the taxpayer’s electronic certificate, electronic DNI or Cl@ve PIN.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.
The file is submitted using TGVI online, a system that validates whether the file contains correct and incorrect records, allowing the partial filing of the correct records, recovering a file with the incorrect records with registry design format and supplementary tax return, and a file with the details of the incorrect records and validation error detected.
Before submitting your tax return, we recommend that you check the list of your recipients using the tax identification service to avoid identification errors.To do so, you can use the option available on the website:"Verification of a NIF of third parties for census purposes" located in "Help services", "Tax identification" of the section "Informative declarations campaign 2022".
This consultation can also be found in the procedures for form 030 under "Censos, NIF y domicilio fiscal" in the section "Información y gestiones".
You must have a file of the return to be sent, with the data adjusted to the registry design of Form 198 in force.

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 option “Read file”, any previous sending for the selected combination of Form + Financial Year + Period + NIF Tax ID will be lost, since only the last validation will be recovered.
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.If the file is completely correct, you will be able to file the complete return.Click "Submit correct records", check the "OK" box and click “Sign and send".
