Important changes to Spain's IRPF income tax returns for 2025
The tax authority in Spain is making key changes this year to facilitate compliance with tax obligations
Spain's Tax Agency (Agencia Tributaria) has announced significant changes to the deadlines for filing the 2025 IRPF income tax return, corresponding to the 2024 fiscal year.These modifications aim to streamline the process of filing the Impuesto sobre la Renta de las Personas Físicas, the Spanish equivalent of income tax, to make it easier for taxpayers to fulfil their fiscal responsibilities.
The most notable change is the earlier start of the campaign. Taxpayers will be able to submit their 2024 tax returns starting from Wednesday April 2, 2025.
This adjustment brings the process forward significantly compared to previous years, allowing individuals to begin filing before Easter.
- Online: From April 2 to June 30, 2025
- By phone: From May 6 to June 30, 2025 (with appointment requests starting on April 29)
- In-person at tax offices: From June 2 to June 30, 2025 (with appointment requests starting on May 29)
For tax returns with a payment result requiring direct debit, the final submission date will be June 25, 2025.
