To make the electronic submission, the taxpayer or, where applicable, the self-assessment submitter must access the Draft/Declaration Processing Service.

For their part, those who have general and specific powers of attorney related to Form 100 and social collaborators can use the Renta WEB service to process the declaration of their representatives from the option available on the Form 100 processing page in the Electronic Office.

Likewise, persons or entities authorized to submit declarations electronically on behalf of third parties may use a computer program to obtain the file with the self-assessments to be transmitted from the option available on the processing page of form 100 in the Electronic Office of the State Agency of Tax Administration.

If the declaration is accepted, the State Tax Administration Agency will return on screen the data of the IRPF declaration form corresponding to the declaration submitted, proof of submission, validated with a secure verification code that will indicate the date and time of submission that the declarant must print or file and keep.
