- At the end of December, more than 95% of refund requests have been fulfilled and the amount of refunds exceeds 90%

- Of the total drafts and declarations, 10,700,000 have been submitted online, 20% more than last year


More than 14.3 million Personal Income Tax (IRPF) filers have received, at the end of 2012, the refund corresponding to the 2011 Income Tax campaign, which implies that 95.1% of all The requested refunds (just over 15 million) have already been paid. In terms of amount, the Tax Agency has refunded taxpayers more than 10.1 billion euros, 90.4% of what was requested. Compared to the end of the previous campaign (Renta 2010), the number of returns fell by 0.8% and the amount by 3%.

In the 2011 Income Campaign, just over 19.5 million declarations have been submitted, of which 10.7 million, 55%, were submitted online, which represents nine points more than last year (46%). With data as of December 31, while the total number of declarations grew by 1.1% compared to the previous year, online filings increased by 20.5%.

Of the 8.5 million personal income tax drafts presented, 4.9 million have been sent to the Tax Agency online, 33.3% more than last year. Of the rest of the declarations (11 million), 5.8 million have also been submitted electronically, 11.4% more than a year ago.

The noticeable improvement recorded in online submissions is justified by the modifications incorporated this year on the Agency's website with the aim of facilitating online access to the REN0 system to quickly obtain the draft and tax data, as well as to expedite the presentation of their own drafts and Income Tax returns. In this campaign, the REN0 service had been used by 12.6 million taxpayers, 92.4% more than last year.
