The Spanish Tax Agency (Agencia Tributaria) has announced that starting from March 18, taxpayers will have access to their fiscal data to prepare for the upcoming income tax return season, which officially begins on April 8. This service will allow taxpayers to review their personal and economic information, providing a comprehensive overview of their earnings, withholdings, and any capital gains or losses from the previous year.

The introduction of this system aims to streamline the tax filing process, as the agency compiles this data into a summary that can assist individuals in completing their Income Tax Return (IRPF) correctly. As a step towards digitization, the tax submissions will initially only be available online, encouraging the use of telematic submissions among taxpayers. The government has emphasized the importance of these improvements to access and ease of preparing tax declarations, signifying a shift towards modernizing administrative processes in Spain.

This move by the Tax Agency aligns with broader efforts in Spain to enhance transparency and efficiency in tax administration. By providing easier access to essential tax data, the agency hopes to improve compliance rates among taxpayers while simplifying the experience of filing tax returns during a critical time of the year for millions of citizens. The change is expected to positively impact both taxpayers and the agency in terms of streamlined processes and reduced errors in submissions.
