The Tax Agency has already returned 7.3 billion euros to 11,177,000 taxpayers at the end of the Income Tax Campaign

2021 Income Tax Campaign

80.8% of the refunds and 71.7% of the amounts requested at the end of the campaign have already been paid
22,033,000 returns have been submitted, of which the most notable are the more than 1,076,000 made through the telephone preparation service ('Le Llamamos' plan), the main channel of personalized assistance in the Income Tax Campaign, which is added to the more than 648,000 returns made in the offices.
The Income 'Informant' and the economic activities 'Informant' for resolving doubts will remain active after the campaign, as will its connection with the support chat of the Comprehensive Digital Administration (ADI), which has offered more than 4,000 hours of personalized attention to the taxpayer.
More than 35,000 taxpayers have declared profits from operations with virtual currencies this year for an amount of more than 759 million euros

July 1, 2022 .- The Tax Agency has returned 7,293 million euros to 11,177,000 taxpayers at the end of the 2021 Personal Income Tax (IRPF 2021) campaign, so that, as of today, 80.8% of the refunds requested in number and 71.7% in amount have already been paid, ratios slightly higher than last year. To date, compared to a 2.2% decrease in the number of applications for refunds and a 4.2% decrease in the amount, the number of refunds paid has decreased to a lesser extent (1.1% in number and 1.3% in amount).

As expected, the Agency has received a slightly higher number of declarations this year (+1.9%), reaching 22,033,000, although, and in line with the latest estimates, the number of declarations with a balance to be paid is growing significantly, while those with a result to be returned are falling.

At the end of the campaign, 62.8% of the declarations had been submitted with a request for a refund, exceeding the figure of 13,833,000. In turn, 6,656,000 have given a result to enter (+10.5%).

The 'We Call You' plan, the main route to personalized assistance

Once again this year, the Tax Agency has designed a reinforced telephone assistance plan for filing, the 'We Call You' plan, to cover the needs of taxpayers without having to wait for the opening of assistance in offices and, in any case, also to avoid unnecessary travel, especially taking into account the persistence of certain capacity limitations and safety distance requirements derived from the health situation.

At the end of the campaign, 'Le Llamamos' has established itself this year as the main non-face-to-face alternative to the Agency's website for filing the tax return. This filing route has been used by 1,076,000 taxpayers, 6.6% less than last year, when a record number of filings by this route was recorded. In any case, the declarations submitted through the 'We Call You' plan in this campaign represent 62.4% of all the declarations submitted with personalized assistance.

On the other hand, the level of filings at the offices has increased significantly, with more than 648,000 declarations, 23.1% more, in a context of improving the health situation.

Electronic channels

In any case, the vast majority of taxpayers continue to file their returns online. This year, 20,307,000 tax returns were submitted online, 92.2% of the total, of which 19,882,000 were submitted through the Agency's website, 1.8% more than a year ago.

The remaining online tax returns correspond to the 424,700 submitted through the Agency's mobile application, 3.2% more than the previous year. Of these, more than 301,000 correspond to 'one-click' submissions, 8.6% more, and the rest are contributors who have been referred to the web by the application to make some modification and have returned to the app to finish the submission.

The Income 'Informant' will continue to operate throughout the year

The main novelty of this year's Income Tax campaign has been the launch of a renewed and expanded version of the Income Tax 'Informant' and the creation of another specific one on economic activities. This tool, a comprehensive online assistance service with more than 800 answers to the most important questions about the entire tax, will continue to be available on the Agency's website for questions that taxpayers may have in the coming months.

To reinforce assistance, the different information blocks are connected to a chat attended by specialists from the Comprehensive Digital Administration (ADI) for any issues that remain to be resolved. ADI's assistance, which will continue to be active after the campaign, has resulted in more than 4,000 hours of personalized attention to taxpayers.

This help for resolving tax queries is in addition to that provided through the traditional telephone channel for resolving tax queries, which during the campaign has handled more than 2,200,000 calls from different taxpayer profiles.

Earnings declared from operations with virtual currencies

Another new feature of the campaign is the inclusion of specific sections for the declaration of virtual currencies, both in Income and Assets, which allows specific data to be provided on the volume and amounts declared. It is worth remembering that the large volume of notifications incorporated this year in the tax data does not necessarily correspond to taxpayers who have carried out transactions, but rather is based on information on the holding and ownership of cryptocurrencies.

In this campaign, almost 35,200 Income Tax returns have incorporated profits derived from operations with virtual currencies, for an amount of more than 759 million euros, while in the Wealth Tax, 1,275 taxpayers of this tax have incorporated in their declaration a total of 911.9 million euros as the balance of their cryptocurrency portfolios at the end of the year.

Tool to avoid errors

This campaign also maintains the error prediction tool that was launched last year to help taxpayers avoid recurring errors in their tax returns and, therefore, the risk of subsequent regularisation by the administration.

Using machine learning techniques based on adjustments from previous years, the tool makes a selection of taxpayers who may make mistakes in boxes in the employment income section. If the taxpayer modifies them, he or she will be reminded that he or she has modified the amounts appearing in the tax data so that he or she can decide whether he or she wants to continue with that modification.

Wealth Tax

In parallel with the Income Tax Campaign, the Wealth Tax Campaign was also developed, which had to be declared by those taxpayers with a tax liability (after applying the corresponding deductions and allowances), and also those with a tax liability who last year had assets and rights worth more than two million euros. At the end of the campaign, more than 230,500 asset declarations have been registered and the amount to be paid reaches 1.328 billion euros.
