The Tax Agency has begun sending 50,000 warning letters to alert of discrepancies in the Income Tax return, as part of a campaign that expects to reach 130,000 notifications throughout Spain. The communications warn that the taxpayer's tax data do not match those held by the Administration and allow for the voluntary correction of the error before a possible regularization.
In regions such as Tarragonès, where the labor market combines services, hospitality, and seasonal tourism in municipalities like Salou and Vila-seca, the intersection of multiple payers and fixed-term discontinuous contracts increase the risk of unintentional errors in the draft. The warning also comes at a time when 16.8 million declarations have already been filed, 5.48% more than in the same period last year.
The campaign anticipates 130,000 notices and allows for error correction without fines
The letters inform that the detected anomaly could lead to a subsequent regularization, although they open the door to rectify the situation without penalties or late payment interest if the taxpayer acts in time. If the person reviews their file and confirms that the declaration was correct, they do not need to take any action.
When an error is detected, a corrective declaration can be submitted through Renta Web. The system already had an impact in the previous campaign, when more than 45,000 taxpayers regularized their situation without paying fines after receiving this preventive notice.
In areas with employment closely linked to high seasons, such as Salou and Vila-seca, incidents usually appear in files with more than one payer or with periods of intermittent activity. This profile fits a large part of the labor force in Camp de Tarragona and explains why an automatic draft does not always capture all data without errors.
The Tax Agency opened face-to-face service in offices on June 1
The campaign maintains a high volume of processed files. So far, declarations with a payment due result amount to 3.2 million and have contributed 5.7 billion euros, an increase of 23% compared to the previous year.
On the other hand, declarations to be refunded amount to 10.9 million for an amount of 9.3 billion euros. As of June 1, the Administration had already paid 75% of these refunds.
Since June 1, the in-person filing of the Income Tax Return is also available at the Tax Agency offices, a channel that is added to the online review and correction for those who need to modify their declaration using Renta Web.
