Why Knowing When to File a Tax Return in Spain Matters
Understanding the exact dates ensures you:
- Review your tax data in advance and correct any mistakes.
- Avoid errors in deductions or key fields that could cost you money.
- Plan payments or enjoy faster refunds by filing early.
- Set up direct debit before 25 June 2025 to prevent surcharges.
For example, early filers usually receive their refund faster because the Tax Agency prioritizes initial returns. Waiting until late June often means longer processing times and more risk of system overload.
Filing Options for the Spanish Tax Return 2024
- Renta Web (online or app): The fastest and most convenient way. Access with Cl@ve, digital certificate, or reference number. Available from 2 April 2025.
- “We Call You” phone service: From 6 May 2025, a Tax Agency agent can prepare your return by phone. Ideal if you have doubts or limited internet access.
- In-person appointment: From 2 June 2025 you can visit an office with prior booking. Remember to bring all required documents.
Practical Recommendations
- Check your draft return from mid-March 2025 to correct issues before the campaign begins.
- Pay special attention to common deductions: primary residence, rent, maternity, or unemployment benefits.
- If your return shows tax due, set up direct debit to split payments in two installments. The second installment can be paid until 5 November 2025.
- Don’t wait until the last day: 30 June is often overloaded with technical issues.
Example: María, a freelancer with variable income, reviewed her draft return on 2 April and booked a call for 6 May. She solved her doubts on rental deductions without visiting an office. Other taxpayers preferred face-to-face assistance in June to confirm unemployment benefit data.
