The total number of personal income tax returns submitted so far this Income Campaign amounts to 3,868,961 (includes confirmed drafts, since upon confirmation the return is submitted). This represents an increase of 18.9% in the number of declarations submitted until May 20. 40% of those almost four million declarations, 1,567,168, have been submitted via the Internet (drafts confirmed via the Internet are included).

This increase in the number of confirmed drafts and submitted returns has made it possible to streamline personal income tax returns. The Tax Agency has already paid 2,162,248 Income 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.
