3.3.3. Place of presentation and entry

"TO BE ENTERED" STATEMENTS

The presentation and payment of the income resulting from the self-assessments for Personal Income Tax must be carried out:

In credit institutions that act as collaborators in the collection management (Banks, Savings Banks or Credit Cooperatives) located in Spanish territory, even when the payment is made outside the established period.

Tax returns to be paid made through the assistance services provided at the offices of the AEAT, as well as those authorised for this purpose by the Autonomous Communities or Cities with Statute of Autonomy and Local Entities may be submitted directly at such offices for immediate electronic transmission, provided that the resulting income has been directly deposited in the bank account under the terms set out above, or in the first instalment, if the returns are for which payment in instalments has been chosen.
"TO BE RETURNED" STATEMENTS WITH RETURN REQUEST

In those cases where the Personal Income Tax returns result in an amount to be refunded with a refund request, the submission may be made:
1. At any Delegation of the Tax Agency or its Administrations.
2. At any office located in Spanish territory of the collaborating entity where you wish to receive the refund amount, even if the submission is made outside the established deadline.
3. They may also be submitted to the offices authorised by the Autonomous Communities and Cities with Statute of Autonomy and Local Entities for the preparation of declarations through the Assistance Programme developed by the Tax Agency.
In any case, the IBAN code that identifies the account to which the transfer is to be made must be stated.

However, when the taxpayer requests a refund by bank transfer to an account opened in a depository institution that does not act as a collaborator in the collection management of the State Tax Administration Agency, the declaration must be submitted to the offices of the State Tax Administration Agency.

When the taxpayer does not have an account opened in a collaborating entity or there is any other circumstance that justifies it, this fact will be stated by accompanying the declaration with a written document addressed to the Administrator or Delegate of the corresponding Tax Agency, who, in view of the same and after the pertinent verifications, may order the refund to be made by issuing a check in the name of the Bank of Spain.

Likewise, the refund may be ordered to be made by issuing a crossed or nominative cheque from the Bank of Spain when it cannot be made by bank transfer.

RETURN DECLARATIONS FOR DECEASED TAXPAYERS

In the event that the taxpayer who is the holder of the return with a refund has died, the refund will be withheld until the heir(s) submit the following documentation, depending on the amount of the refund:
1. If the refund is less than 2,000 euros:
  1. Death certificate.
  2. Family Record Book.
  3. Certificate of Registration of Last Wills.
  4. Will if any.
  5. In the event that there are several heirs and you wish the refund amount to be paid to one of them, written and signed authorization, accompanied by a photocopy of the ID of all the heirs.
2. If the refund is greater than 2,000 euros:
  1. Death certificate.
  2. Family Record Book.
  3. Certificate of Registration of Last Wills.
  4. Will or, failing that, declaration of heirs.
  5. Proof of having paid the Inheritance and Gift Tax for the amount of the refund.
  6. If applicable, a Power of Attorney authorizing one of the heirs to receive the refund on behalf of all of them. This requirement may be replaced by certification from the Depository Entity of the existence of an account opened in it, the ownership of which corresponds to all the heirs.
This documentation should not be attached to the declaration, but rather submitted in a separate document at the Tax Agency's Entry Registers, or, failing that, wait for the Administration itself to request it.
"NEGATIVE" STATEMENTS AND "WAIVER" OF RETURN

Negative declarations (without payment or refund) of Personal Income Tax and those in which the refund to the Public Treasury is waived must be submitted, mainly by electronic means or directly to any Delegation or Administration of the State Tax Administration Agency, or by certified mail, addressed to the Delegation or Administration of the Tax Agency corresponding to the current tax domicile of the declarant.

They may also be submitted to the offices authorised by the Autonomous Communities, Cities with Statute of Autonomy and Local Entities for the preparation of declarations through the Assistance Programme developed by the Tax Agency.

STATEMENTS SUBJECTED TO THE SUSPENSION OF ENTRY PROCEDURE

Income tax returns for spouses who are not legally separated in which, pursuant to the provisions of article 97.6 of the Tax Law, one of them requests the suspension of payment and the other declares the waiver of the collection of the refund, must be submitted simultaneously and jointly in the corresponding place of those indicated above depending on whether the final result of their returns, as a result of the application of the aforementioned procedure, is to pay or refund. If the final result of the aforementioned declarations is negative, both will be presented in the places indicated in section C) above.

TAX ONE-STOP WINDOW

The declaration may also be submitted at the offices of the tax authorities of the Autonomous Communities that have signed a collaboration agreement with the State Tax Administration Agency for the implementation of one-stop tax window systems, under the terms provided for in said agreement.

ONLINE PRESENTATION

In addition, as a general rule, personal income tax returns may be submitted electronically.

Taxpayers who file a return for the Wealth Tax, which must be filed electronically, will also be required to use the electronic means via the Internet to file the Personal Income Tax return.

Once the self-assessment has been completed using the Renta web service developed by the Tax Agency, the following procedure must be followed, depending on the result of the self-assessment and whether or not the payment corresponding to the entire income or the first instalment has been directly deposited:

Self-assessments for payment whose total payment or that corresponding to the first term is not made via direct debit
The declarant will contact the collaborating Entity, either electronically (directly or through the Electronic Office of the Tax Agency), or by going to its offices, to make the corresponding payment and provide the data relating to said payment.

The collaborating Entity, once the payment has been made, will assign a Complete Reference Number (NRC) associated with the payment made. Subsequently, the declarant will connect to the Electronic Office of the Tax Agency and will access the presentation procedure corresponding to the self-assessment that he wishes to transmit and will proceed to:
1. Select the file with the income tax return to be transmitted.
2. Provide the Complete Reference Number (NRC) associated with the income that has been assigned by the collaborating Entity to the declaration to be transmitted.
3. Generate the electronic signature and, in the case of a joint income tax return, also that of the spouse.
4. Submit the complete self-assessment to the Tax Agency with the electronic signature or signatures.
In this year, once the NRC of the collaborating entity has been obtained, the self-assessment may also be transmitted without the need to generate an advanced electronic signature, by recording the taxpayer's NIF and, in the case of a joint declaration made by both spouses, the NIF of the spouse, as well as the corresponding access code or reference number or numbers of the draft or the tax data previously supplied by the Tax Agency.

If the self-assessment is accepted, the Tax Agency will return the data of the payment or refund document validated with a secure verification code, as well as the date and time of submission, on the screen. The taxpayer should print and keep the information from the validated document for payment or refund.

If the self-assessed tax return was refused, the errors detected will be shown so that the taxpayer may correct them.
Self-assessed tax returns to be paid whose total payment or payment corresponding to the first deadline is made through direct debit
The transmission of the declaration will not require prior communication with the collaborating Entity to make the payment and obtain the NRC. The transmission of the self-assessment, which will include the corresponding direct debit order, will be carried out in accordance with the above section, either by generating an advanced electronic signature or by recording the taxpayer's NIF and, in the case of a joint declaration made by both spouses, the NIF of the spouse, as well as the corresponding access code or reference number or numbers of the draft or the tax data previously supplied by the Tax Agency.

Finally, the taxpayer must print and keep the payment or refund document validated with a secure 16-character verification code which will contain, in addition to the date and time of filing the return, the direct debit order made and, where applicable, the payment in instalments option chosen by the taxpayer.
Self-assessments resulting in an amount to be paid, which are submitted with a request for deferral or installment payment, with a request for compensation, with recognition of payment debt or with a request for payment through delivery of assets of the Spanish Historical Heritage
The procedure for electronic submission of self-assessments referred to in this section entails only the particularity that, once the submission of the declaration has been completed, the declarant or the person or entity authorized to electronically submit declarations on behalf of third parties will obtain, in addition to the secure verification code, a seventeen-character settlement key with which, if desired, they may request at that same time, through the link enabled for this purpose, the deferral or fractioning or the compensation or, where appropriate, payment by delivery of assets of the Spanish Historical Heritage, and with which they may also submit said requests at a later time at the electronic headquarters of the State Tax Administration Agency on the Internet, at the electronic address "https://www.agenciatributaria.gob.es", through the option Procedures, Services and Procedures (Information and Registration)/Collection.
Self-assessments to be returned, with a request for a refund or waiver of the same in favor of the Public Treasury and refusals
The procedure for submitting these self-assessments is similar to that previously mentioned for the IRPF self-assessments to be paid, with the exception that it will not be necessary to carry out the communication phase with the collaborating Entity to make the payment and to obtain the NRC associated with it, nor the domiciliation phase in the collaborating Entity of the payment.
Declarations accepted under the admission suspension procedure
In the case of personal income tax returns corresponding to spouses who are not legally separated, in which one of them requests the suspension of income and the other requests the waiver of the refund, if one of the spouses opts for the electronic submission procedure, the return corresponding to the other must also be submitted using this same procedure.
