The income tax process does not end with the submission of Form No. 22: filing tax returns, monitoring statements and managing observations require the attention and proactivity of taxpayers.
In this note, we explain why the annual income tax return can generate for taxpayers the obligation to pay tax, or give them the right to request a refund.
Although the tax authority seeks to facilitate the tax compliance of an important group of taxpayers through income proposals, the latter are responsible for checking the information they declare, prior to its submission.
We tell you some details of the Income Tax Return that -as a general rule- taxpayers must file in April with the SII, answering some questions on the subject: what is this return and who, when, how, where and why must file it.
These days, not everything is Operation Income: real estate taxes, tax surcharge and tax on high value assets are -among others- tax issues to be considered in this fourth month of the year.
Through the annual income tax returns, the SII receives information from different national sources, which allows it to facilitate taxpayers' tax compliance and, at the same time, to optimize its auditing role.
Although the annual tax return is filed in April (and in some cases, the first days of May), the income tax process requires preparation before, during and after for taxpayers, their accounting-tax teams and advisors.
