Option to file a return

When filing your income tax return for each year, you can choose to file an individual or joint return if you are part of a family unit.

If you choose to file jointly, all income of any kind obtained by each and every member of the family unit is accumulated.

If any of the members of the family unit files an individual tax return, the remaining members must use this same taxation system.

Once you have filed your return individually or jointly, you can only change your option if you file new returns within the filing period. After this period, you will not be able to change the tax option for that tax period.

The option to file an individual or joint return does not bind the family unit for subsequent years.

When filing your tax return online with Renta WEB, if you enter the data corresponding to all members of your family unit, the program will calculate the most favorable return for you.
