Income Tax Return 2023: Key Dates, Filing Requirements, and Draft Request
When earning less than €22,000 annually from a single employer, you typically aren't required to file an income tax return. However, if you have multiple income sources, the threshold drops to €15,000. For those with multiple payers, you can earn up to €22,000 if the combined amount from secondary sources doesn't exceed €1,500 annually.
Filing is mandatory for individuals who receive:
- Rental income
- Returns from Treasury bills
- Housing subsidies
- Income from officially protected properties
- Capital gains from public aid
- Imputed rental income
