The Tax Agency has already returned over 1.3 billion euros to 2,400,000 taxpayers

2019 Income Campaign

So far 4,178,000 taxpayers have filed their tax return, 34% more than on the same date last year
The number of returns paid out increases by 53% and the overall amount returned increases by 50%
In this year's campaign, it is expected that 21,030,000 tax returns will be filed, of which 14,565,000, almost 70% of the total, will have amounts to be returned, with a value of 10.686 billion euros

April 16, 2020 .- The Tax Agency has already returned, as of today, 1,309 million euros to 2,407,000 taxpayers after the first two weeks of the Income Tax campaign of Natural Persons corresponding to 2019 (IRPF 2019). This implies a significant increase in returns paid out at the same dates last year; 53% in number and 50% in amount.

This increase is linked to the strong growth of 34% in the tax returns filed. At this point in the campaign, 1,061,000 taxpayers more than last year have filed their tax return.

Given the current context of the health emergency, and the fact that 88% of taxpayers submit their tax returns online, keeping to the planned campaign start date (1 April) was considered particularly important so that taxpayers can receive their rebates as soon as possible. In this campaign, 21,030,000 tax returns are expected to be filed, 1.6% more than last year. Of this total, 14,565,000 are expected to involve monies being returned, which is almost 70% of the total (estimated to be 10.686 billion euros) and 0.5% more than the previous year.

The streamlining of the filing is also reaching the tax returns with amounts to deposit, which have grown by 47% and already exceed 469.000. It should be remembered that starting the campaign on 1 April does not prejudice taxpayers with tax returns with amounts to pay. A total of 5,515,000, an additional 3.1%, amounting to 12.798 billion euros, is expected for the whole campaign.

Regarding the presentation methods, in addition to the main telematic channel, which is the AEAT website ( sede.agenciatributaria.gob.es ), taxpayers are also streamlining the presentation to through the Agency's mobile application. More than 200,000 declarations have been submitted through this means to date, 23% more than last year. Of that total figure, more than 177,000 correspond to 'one-click' submissions and the rest are taxpayers to whom the application has referred to the Agency's website to make some modification and who have returned to the 'app' to conclude. the presentation.

Improvements in the 'app'

For this campaign, improvements have been made to the mobile application to further strengthen its accessibility, usability and user experience and, as in every year, in addition to filing the tax return, the app allows the tax allocation and IBAN to be amended, and the tax data of previous campaigns to be checked, among others.

This campaign also simplifies the identification system so that taxpayers will be guided according to their preferences and needs, making access to campaign services more straightforward. These improvements help to streamlining filing tax returns telematically and, therefore, also refunds.

On the other hand, telephone assistance to taxpayers is available throughout the campaign using the traditional clarification of tax doubts service (Personal Income Tax information line, 901 33 55 33 and 91 554 87 70).

Given the streamlining of tax returns filed in the first few weeks and thus the increase in queries, the Agency is finalising the possibility of supplementing this personalised assistance for tax doubts with an e-mail system for cases where taxpayers find the telephone lines overloaded, although checking the Agency's website is also recommended, where all the information on the campaign is available, with the usual system of explanatory videos and frequently asked questions.

Taxpayers who are not obliged to file a tax return

Generally speaking, taxpayers with incomes exclusively from employment are not obliged to file tax returns until an amount of 22,000 euros a year. However, this limit is lowered if the income relates to more than one taxpayer (with exceptions), and when the taxpayer is not obliged to make a withholding or when the income is subject to a fixed withholding tax rate. In such cases, the limit is 14,000 euros per annum.

Both limits are still valid for not being required to file a tax return if the taxpayer has the following income instead of or in addition to them:
Dividends, interest payment or capital gains subject to withholdings with a joint ceiling of 1,600 euros.

Attributed income from property, income from full untaxed returns on investment capital obtained from Treasury bonds and grants for purchasing protected or affordable housing, and other capital gains deriving from public aids, with a joint limit of 1,000 euros per year.

Like last year, taxpayers will not be obligated who have income from wages, capital and financial activities, as well as capital gains (grants, prizes and others), with a joint limit of €1,000, along with equity losses less than €500.

Review of personal and economic data

It is always advisable to review the draft declaration offered by the Tax Agency. Through RENTA WEB the information will be the most up-to-date possible but, in any case, the Agency may not have all the data relevant to the declaration, data that the taxpayer may need to incorporate into the draft declaration .

Details such as the following should be checked carefully:

Properties and their land registry reference numbers
Personal and family circumstances (if they changed in 2019)
Property leasings
Transfers
Contributions to pension plans
Union fees
Amounts received as grants
Deductions for family and maternity
Deduction for investment in primary residence
Autonomous community deductions

How do I obtain 'Clave PIN' and the reference number?

The reference number and 'Clave PIN' are still, together with the digital certificate and electronic ID, the login requirements for RENTA WEB and other Income Tax services, such as consulting tax details and the status of your refund.

Obtaining the Cl@vePIN requires two steps, a single prior registration and a subsequent request each time the taxpayer needs it. Prior registration can be made online following the instructions contained in the letter which the Tax Agency will send to those who request it, via the option offered on the Cl@ve PIN icon of the Agency's website. In this case, you must provide the ID number, expiry date, mobile phone number. On the days and hours open to the public, it is also possible to pre-register at the Agency's offices, providing your ID and a mobile phone number, without the need for an appointment and without the need for additional documentation.

Once registered in the system, when the taxpayer wishes to carry out a procedure, they can request this through the link available in the procedure itself, or from the app. To do this, you must enter the NIF, the validity date of the DNI and a four-character password that the taxpayer will define for each request. They will then receive a three-digit PIN via SMS, which, along with the password, constitutes the necessary access code for carrying out their procedures.

In turn, to obtain the reference number via the REN0 service on the Tax Agency website, your tax code will be requested, as well as box 505 of your 2018 income tax return and the expiry date of your ID. Those who did not file a tax return last year, or whose box was nil in 2018, will be asked for certain digits from a bank account number in their name rather than box 505. In order to facilitate its use, the reference number will only consist of six characters.
