The Tax Agency has already refunded 3,326 million euros to 4.5 million taxpayers

Refunds have been made faster than they were during last year's tax campaign: 48% more taxpayers have already received a refund and the amount paid out is up by 60%. More than 4.4 million pre-populated Income Tax return forms have been confirmed. 6.1 million Income Tax returns have been filed so far, of which 2.9 million were filed over the Internet.

May 27, 2009 . The Second Vice-President and Minister of Economy and Finance, Elena Salgado, presented today the data on refunds from the current Income Tax campaign during a visit to the Tax Agency in Madrid. As of May 26, 2009, the amount of refunds has already reached 3.326 billion euros, 60% more than at the same time last year. The number of taxpayers who have received their refund is 4,539,192, 48% more than in the same period last year. In this campaign, the State Tax Administration Agency (AEAT) maintains its commitment to make 85% of the refunds before the beginning of August.

As of May 26, taxpayers have confirmed 4.4 million Personal Income Tax (IRPF) drafts, which represents an increase of 28% over those confirmed in the same period last year.

The total number of personal income tax returns submitted so far this Income Tax Campaign amounts to 6.1 million (including confirmed drafts, since once they are confirmed the return is submitted). This figure represents an increase of 22% in the number of declarations on the same date in 2008. 47% of the returns were submitted online (including drafts confirmed online).

The Income Tax Campaign ends on June 30 and 19,075,000 returns are expected to be received. The AEAT offers taxpayers who meet the conditions set out in the Personal Income Tax Law the possibility of receiving a draft of the Income Tax return prepared by the tax administration. 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, he or she can modify the draft return and then confirm the modified version.
