Personal Income Tax Campaign
The Tax Agency has already returned more than 4.2 billion euros to six million taxpayers
• More than five million pre-populated tax returns have been confirmed, 26.4% more than on the same date last year.
• Ten million Income Tax returns have been filed so far, of which 3.9 million were submitted online
17 June 2008. Up to yesterday, the Tax Agency has refunded over 4.223 billion euros to 14.3 million taxpayers With respect to last year on the same date the increase is a 2 per cent of the amount, in 2007 was 4.139 billion euros, and 7 per cent in the number of taxpayers, which in 2007 was 5.6 million. The increase in the number of pre-populated tax returns and tax returns filed has enabled it to streamline refunds.
The number of draft tax returns confirmed up to 16 June is 5,098,231, which represents an increase of 26.4% compared to those confirmed in the same period last year (4,030,863).
The total number of Income Tax returns filed so far in this year's campaign is 10,044,996. This includes confirmed pre-populated tax return forms, which are classed as filed after confirmation. This represents an increase of 13.4 per cent in the number of returns filed until 16 June. Thirty-nine per cent of these ten million tax returns, 3,944,804 have been filed online (including pre-populated tax returns confirmed online).
The Tax Return Campaign ends on 30th June and is expected to generate 18,525,000 tax returns. The Tax Agency (AEAT) offers taxpayers that meet the conditions laid down by the Income Tax Law the chance to obtain a draft tax return form compiled by the Tax Agency. As a general rule, a draft tax return form is available to taxpayers whose income arises exclusively from work, income from capital subjected to withholding or on-account payment of tax, Treasury Bills, capital gains subjected to withholding or on-account payment of tax, allocation of income from property arising from a maximum of two properties, as well as subsidies for acquisition of a primary home. Eligibility for the tax credit for acquisition of a residence or for donations, or the deduction for pension plan contributions, does not preclude eligibility to receive the draft tax return form. Those who are ineligible for the draft form are sent their tax data by the Tax Agency.
Once the draft tax return form has been received, the taxpayer must review the data contained therein and, if he or she is in agreement, confirm the form. Confirmation will file the return. If the taxpayer believes that information is missing, or if the taxpayer is not in agreement, they can rectify the draft return and then confirm the modified version.
