More than 19 million declarations are expected throughout Spain, and more than 15 million will be returned

As of today, the Tax Agency has refunded 648,029,000 euros to 971,778 taxpayers who were eligible for rebates in their 2009 Personal Income Tax (IRPF) tax returns. With respect to last year on the same date, the operation has increased by 1% in terms of amount, and 7% in terms of the number of taxpayers. The Income Tax campaign 09 opens on Monday, 3 May and will finish on 30 June. A total of 19,500,000 tax returns are expected for the whole of Spain, of which 15,750,000 will have rebates, with a projected 12.28 billion euros to be returned.

The number of draft tax returns confirmed up to today is 1,723,657, which represents a decrease of 2% compared to those confirmed in the same period last year. It should be borne in mind that this year the possibility of confirming drafts began on 5 April due to Easter.

From today you can also request an appointment for those taxpayers whose income in 2009 allows us to help them make their Income Tax Return 09 at the Tax Agency offices.

The Tax Agency offers taxpayers that meet the conditions laid down by the Income Tax Act 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. Drafts can be requested until 23 June.

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. The draft can be confirmed until June 30, unless payment is made by direct debit, which is possible until June 25 ASSISTANCE AND INFORMATION SERVICES
