Editor’s note: This article was first published in March 2011. It describes the procedure for the 2011 income tax campaign, including the 4 April start date, the phone numbers, the SMS service and the data required. The draft-return system and these channels have changed since, so it is useful only as a historical reference.
From 4 April you can confirm your draft income tax return either online or by phone. A word of advice: don’t just accept the draft the Tax Agency (Agencia Tributaria) sends you, especially if it says you owe money, because last year there were more errors than there should have been, and they happened to be in the taxman’s favour.
To confirm your draft income tax return, all you need is:
- Your NIF (Spanish tax identification number)
- Your current account number.
- The draft’s reference number.
- The document (justificante) number.
You can confirm your draft through:
- The internet: by going to Agenciatributaria.es
- Phone: by calling 901 12 12 24 or 901 200 345
- SMS: by sending a text message to 7743: RENTA (space) document number (space) NIF.
- Online banking: only if your bank offers this service.
To request your draft income tax return, you can use the same website mentioned above or the first phone number listed, and the same goes if you want to correct the draft or report any problem with it.
Of course, you can also do all of this in person at the Tax Agency’s offices.
