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

How to Request Your Tax Draft:

  • Online: Visit www.agenciatributaria.es
  • Mobile: Use the "Agencia Tributaria" app
  • Phone: Call 901 12 12 24 or 915 35 73 26 (automated service)
  • Personal Assistance: 901 22 33 44 or 915 53 00 71 (Mon-Fri, 9:00-19:00)

Consequences of Not Filing:

  • If you're required to file but don't, you may face penalties
  • Late filing fees can accumulate
  • The Tax Agency may initiate an investigation
  • Potential fines based on unpaid tax amounts

Important Considerations:

  • Even if you're not required to file, you may want to if you're due a refund
  • Keep all relevant documentation for at least four years
  • Check filing deadlines annually as they may change
  • Consider consulting a tax professional if your situation is complex

Non-residents and expatriates should pay special attention to their tax obligations and may have different filing requirements. Always verify current thresholds and requirements as tax laws can change yearly.
