Taxpayers have already confirmed almost 3 million Personal Income Tax drafts, 21% more than in the same period last year
The Tax Agency has issued more than 2 million personal income tax refunds, 69% more than at similar times last year, for an amount of 1.451 billion euros. 3.8 million personal income tax returns have been filed so far, of which 1.5 million have been filed online.
May 21, 2008. As of May 20, taxpayers have confirmed 2,947,094 Personal Income Tax (IRPF) drafts, which represents an increase of 21.2% over those confirmed in the same period last year (2,430,771).
The total number of personal income tax returns submitted so far this Income Tax Campaign amounts to 3,868,961 (including confirmed drafts, since the return is submitted when they are confirmed). This represents an 18.9% increase in the number of tax returns submitted up to May 20. Of these nearly four million declarations, 40% (1,567,168), were submitted online (including drafts confirmed online).
This increase in the number of confirmed drafts and declarations submitted has made it possible to speed up the processing of personal income tax refunds. The Tax Agency has already paid 2,162,248 income tax refunds – 69.2% more than in the same period last year – for an amount of 1,451 million euros – 71.4% more than in 2007 – according to data from the same dates in May.
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.
