The Tax Agency has already returned 7,300 million euros to 11,177,000 taxpayers at the end of the Income Campaign

Income Campaign 2021

  • 80.8% of the returns and 71.7% of the amounts requested at the end of the campaign have already been paid
  • 22,033,000 declarations have been submitted, of which the more than 1,076,000 made through the telephone preparation service ('Le Llamamos' plan) stand out, the main means of personalized assistance in the Income Campaign, which is added to the more than 648,000 declarations prepared in the offices
  • The Income 'Informer' and the economic activities one to resolve doubts will remain active after the campaign, as will their connection with the support chat of the Comprehensive Digital Administration (ADI), which has offered more than 4,000 hours of attention personalized to the taxpayer
  • More than 35,000 taxpayers have declared profits this year from operations with virtual currencies 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 campaign (IRPF 2021 ), 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, despite a decrease in presentations with a refund request of 2.2% in number and 4.2% in amount, paid refunds have decreased to a lesser extent (1.1% in number and 1 .3% in amount).

In accordance with expectations, the Agency has received a slightly higher number of declarations this year (+1.9%), reaching the figure of 22,033,000, although, and in line with the latest estimates made, the declarations with balance to enter grow significantly, while those with results to return decrease.

At the end of the campaign, 62.8% of the declarations have been submitted with a refund request, 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 way of personalized assistance

Again this year, the Tax Agency designed a reinforced plan for telephone assistance in 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' is consolidated this year as the main non-face-to-face alternative to the Agency's website to present the declaration. This filing method has been used by 1,076,000 taxpayers, 6.6% less than last year, in which a record number of filings were made through this method. In any case, the declarations presented through the 'Le Llamamos' plan in this campaign represent 62.4% of all presentations with personalized assistance.

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

Electronic channels

In any case, the vast majority of taxpayers continue to file their returns online. This year, 20,307,000 declarations have been 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 rest of the Internet declarations correspond to the 424,700 submitted through the Agency's mobile application, 3.2% more than the previous year. Of them, more than 301,000 correspond to 'one-click' presentations, 8.6% more, and the rest are taxpayers who have been referred to the website by the application to make some modification and have returned to the 'app ' to conclude the presentation.

The Income 'Informer' will continue to operate all year round

The main novelty of this year's Income campaign has been the launch of a renewed and expanded version of the Income 'Informer' 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 outstanding questions regarding the entire tax, will continue to be available on the Agency's website for questions that may arise for taxpayers in the following months.

To reinforce assistance, the different blocks of information are connected to a chat attended by specialists from the Comprehensive Digital Administration (ADI) for the issues that remain pending resolution. The assistance of the ADI, which will continue to be active after the campaign, has translated into more than 4,000 hours of personalized attention to the taxpayer.

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

Earnings declared from operations with virtual currencies

Another novelty of the campaign is the incorporation of specific sections for the declaration of virtual currencies, both in Income and in Assets, which makes it possible to offer specific data on the volume and amounts declared. It should be remembered that the large volume of notices incorporated this year in the tax data does not necessarily correspond to taxpayers who have carried out transactions, but are based on information on the possession 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 filers of this tax have incorporated a total of 911.9 million euros as the balance of their cryptocurrency portfolios at the end of the year.

Tool to avoid errors

In this campaign, the tool for predicting errors that was put into operation last year has been maintained in order to help taxpayers avoid recurring errors in the declaration and, with it, the risk of a subsequent regularization by the administration.

Using machine learning techniques based on regularizations from previous years, the tool makes a selection of taxpayers who may make mistakes in boxes in the work income section. If the taxpayer modifies them, they will be reminded that they have modified the amounts that appear in the tax data so that they can decide if they want 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 had been registered and the amount to be deposited reached 1,328 million euros.
