Annual Report 2015

3.3.1. Tax and customs fraud prevention and control results

In 2015, the Tax Agency obtained 15,188 million euros as a direct result of its activities for the prevention and control of fraud. This amount includes both the incomes derived directly from review activities performed by the Tax Agency, as well as the reductions of repayments requested by taxpayers as a consequence of verification activities performed.

Incomes derived from review activities reached 9,687 million euros. On the other hand, repayments fell by 5,501 million euros, a figure that includes the reductions applied following requests to rectify self-assessed tax returns and the reduced amounts from cases resolved through judicial proceedings. This amount includes one-off proceedings with reductions of repayments with a value of 2,700 million euros which, due to their nature and amount, are unlikely to be repeated in the future.
