One of the questions that more people have is How long does it take for the tax authorities to return the balance in favor that I received on my income tax return? Although the farm promises that the money will be returned within 5 days, many people wait longer to enjoy their money.
Today we are going to explain why this happens
Every year, a large part of the people who file the income tax return have a positive balance. As is normal, many people expected that said money would be returned to their accounts within a period of about 5 business days, however many people do not have the money in their accounts within that period.
This begins to arouse anger among people, who, far from taking things calmly and seeing their case separately, begin to get angry.
Credit balance for taxpayers in 5 days
Although hacienda has said over and over again that the credit balance will be ready for taxpayers within 5 days, the reality is that this is only thinking for people who are paying taxes on a salary basis. In other words, this idea of the 5 days was created in order to encourage people who normally do not file income tax returns, to do so.
Automatic return
Cases of automatic return, which are made to people who file their annual return on time, apply exclusively for balances in favor related to external taxes and not for taxes levied on the activities of natural persons, as well as cases of alienation or provision of services. Neither do they enter into the enjoyment of goods.
The importance of the annual declaration for employees
However, there are by law, fixed terms so that the property has to give you your money back with a credit balance. It is important, whether you declare the income annually or not, that you are clear about these deadlines.
The law stipulates that, if everything is in order with our income statement and no type of irregularity is found, the money can be kept in the bank account, in a term no longer than 40 days from the date the taxpayer requested the balance in favor of the taxpayer.
Hacienda can modify this date
Yes, the Treasury can modify this date, if it considers that it should request proof from the taxpayer of the origin of said balance in favor. That is, you can request proof from the taxpayer of the truthfulness of your statement and this in turn has a maximum term of 20 days to deliver all the documentation. Among the things that the estate can ask for is: taxpayer data, reports of the data offered in the income statement or any other additional information that the estate deems necessary to verify the origin of said money. Even when the taxpayer delivers all the documents, the taxpayer may decide not to give the money to the taxpayer, since the data that the person is showing does not see real.
If everything is correct and the person delivers all the data correctly, the Treasury has a few days to give the money after the documents are delivered.
In case the taxpayer delivers all the documents but the Treasury still needs more to verify the origin of the money, they will be given a new within 10 days to deliver the new documents that are requested. If after this period, the Treasury still cannot verify its origin, it will be automatically denied.
Other cases that may delay your return
If you have a lot of mistakes
In the event that the taxpayer presents an income statement in which it is clearly seen that he has errors in the data it contains, the Treasury has the authority to ask the taxpayer to clarify in writing and within a period of 10 days. data found on said paper and to deliver them.
These errors can be of any type, from a problem with the bank account for the return (that is, the numbers do not match with the ones you already have) to personal data that you already have about that person.
In the event that the problem is in the numbers with the amounts to be returned, the Treasury will not ask the taxpayer for clarification and will return the actual amount marked by its system, without having to call the taxpayer to make a supplementary declaration.
How do you see, hacienda you can extend the date of your payments well beyond 5 days and even 40 days by law, as long as you can prove that the income statement filed by the taxpayer is not correct.
In case, after submitting your statement of incomeAfter two weeks and the Treasury has not contacted you, it is likely that there is no problem with your income statement and that it only remains to wait for the money to be placed in your account automatically. Remember that, if no one contacts you to request more documents, the period by law is 40 business days to be able to enjoy your money
What happens when you reject my return but do not tell me why
This, although it is not normal, has come to pass, leaving people who were waiting for their money without knowing where they can claim to solve this problem. In fact, many people have their return rejected without reporting and they find out when they start a claim process.
In case we have this problem, we have the possibility of claiming, since by law, the Treasury must notify us that our return was rejected and why. In this case, you must open a statement against finance to explain why your return was rejected and what documents they need to verify the data. In addition to giving you a period of 20 business days to deliver the documents.
In the event that hacienda does not enter your money within the current year, the payment must be made in the same way, however hacienda must add to the amount already stipulated a payment of 3,75% in interest.
How to claim a rent refund
It is not possible to make a claim to the estate as such, since the platform does not allow this step, however if we can review our status in the estate and see that everything is still correct, because as we have said at the top, sometimes Hacienda rejects the return but it does not notify the taxpayer.
So that you know where your claim is, we are going to talk to you about the messages that may come out
Declaration pending
This option comes out when our document is already at the farm, however, they have not yet reviewed our request.
Declaration with amount in process. Check the amount.
This comes out when errors have been detected in our income statement. Normally in these cases, the declaration must be completely redone or if we are still in time, contact the Treasury to verify the errors.
Recorded declaration and data verification.
This indicates that the farm is reviewing the income statement
Income declaration processed
In this case, it indicates to us that the declaration has already been processed and the Treasury agrees with the data and the refund requested. In this case, we can only wait for the farm to tell us what day our money will be deposited into the account.
Your return has been issued
Your money has already been issued. If within 10 days you have not received the amount you expected, you must go to your administration with the information of your tax address; however, it is not usually necessary since the farm has issued the payment.
What if my payment never arrived
The best option is to come to our nearest tax office, where those responsible for the place will be able to tell us what the status of our account is or why we did not receive the payment and how we should proceed.
If the hacienda doesn't listen to you or they put you off, you can go as last resort to AEAT and there is a claim. To be able to do it through this platform, you must have a digital signature, otherwise you will not be able to do it.
Although this will not expedite the payment, since there is nothing to expedite it, we will receive a message from us that will tell us what is really happening with our process and whether or not we will receive said payment, although the wait, in the end, is the same for everyone.
How long does it take to know how long the rent money comes in? I have a week of when the deadline is due and nothing is urgent when the salary is placed in my bank account, thank you.
Hello Filip, I cannot give you an exact date, but if you sent the declaration a few weeks ago and it is an amount to be returned less than 1500 euros, you will take it into account shortly.
Hello, I am a foreigner, I have a niece and I live with my 16-year-old daughter and my 18-year-old son who, due to different circumstances, I have not been able to get their niece from them and now the farm is claiming that they do not have a nie so that they do not return me, what can I do?
Hello Rudy, if you include your children in the rent, which you must do because it is tax-deductible, they must be citizens with a NIE or with a Nif, if they are over 14 years of age you must attack their NIF or NIE. If you have included them and they do not have a NIE, you must either take it out or go to the Tax Agency and make a complementary one and remove them from the income. It is the only way to get it back, since as you do not have a NIE you cannot include them, whether or not you have the obligation to put it in the rent. I advise you to make an appointment at the Treasury and make a complementary one and try to solve your NIE as soon as possible. All the best
It depends on the property, but if it is not more than 1500 euros, it will not take long to enter you, you can enter the property page and see the status of your return.
Hello, I wanted to know what law you mean when you say that the Treasury has 40 business days to return the money.
Thank you very much.
Hello Julio, there is no law that says that it is 40 days, it is more, they can return you within the calendar year until December 31, and if the calendar year passes, the corresponding interest would have to be applied. But if it is true that if you present the declaration of the former, it is estimated that it is returned within a maximum period of 40 days, we are talking about returns of amounts less than 1500 euros. It is not a rule, nor a claim, but it is usually returned in a short time.
Hello!! I would like to know the time it takes to return if in the consultation of my return they tell me that on May 3 a transfer was made with my return to my bank account.
Regards, and thank you very much
Yes, the query marks you on May 3, you should already have it in your account, check that it is correct, because that notice comes when your refund has already been sent to your bank, and the transfer of the money takes at most 3 days if they are different entities, if it were the same entity, on the same day you should have it. Check the account, it is very important, in case of error, you should contact the Tax Agency.
Hello, I went on May 11 to modify my tax return, but as of today, the tax return is still being verified and I do not understand it when they made the modification to me. How long do I have to wait for an amount less than 500 euros to be returned?
Hello Nazareth,
Corrective returns take longer, because they remain behind those issued, you will have to wait for the Tax Agency to review those issued and start over. Hopefully they will return you soon, you can find out on the same website where you see that it is under review, it will put you this managed, or returned.
I hope they return you soon, greetings
Hello. Yesterday I was making the statement at the tax offices and they got it wrong. We are a large family in a general regime, my husband has already collected his statement with the 600 euros of the large family deduction and my part was missing, but they told me that I did not meet the requirements to count it in full and that I could assign the right to him to to charge them. Supposedly that is what they did, with the corresponding rectification of their declaration so that they will enter my 600 euros. My declaration was made to me individually, but when looking at it at home, they did not indicate the box that I give it to them and they leave me To return 400 euros more in mine. Do they take a long time to return that rectification to him? I don't know whether to rectify mine or yours. Thank you
Hello, You already have a crime that in the same Tax Agency, they get involved with the subsidy of 1200 euros for a large family. First of all, I advise you to request the monthly payment, either to your account or to that of your partner, that is, 100 euros per month, if you notice less but you already have it collected and avoid these things. In case of having solved it this year, it is deducted from the rent, but I do not understand why you cannot access it if your partner can. In conclusion, to benefit from the 1200 euros, you must deduct children 100%, only your partner or your husband. Normally, 50% each is deducted per child, unless one of the two resigns in favor of the other.
The best thing you can do in this case is that they rectify the erroneous declaration, because in the end they can ask you for clarification themselves. On the other hand, the return date varies a lot as it is a rectification, so to speak ... it gets in line again. I hope that next year, this does not happen to you, greetings
Hello, good morning, I wanted to know the time it takes to make the refund of the rent that I did on May 6? Thank you
Hello Patricia, the truth is that there is no exact date, they have until December 31 but if your declaration is based on the fiscal data of the tax agency, or you confirm the draft, it may take a week to 40 days. If you have a sale or include a withholding that is not known to the tax agency, they usually take a little longer. For example, it took me personally 8 days.
Hello, I accepted the draft on 5/5/17 and it says; your return is being processed, if you wish, you can check your charges through …… is that normal?
Hello Cristina, you are within the normal period, if you have made any sale of financial assets such as funds, stocks or real estate, it usually takes a little longer. The declarations that they return first are those that almost confirm the tax information of the Treasury or the web income.
I hope you get back soon, keep consulting your situation and any questions here we are.
Hello, on the 12th I made the declaration at the office of la caixa and it came out to return 800 euros, they told me that in 10 days they paid it to me, as of today they have not paid it to me ...
