The Tax Agency monitors for its sanctions aspects such as non-compliance with delivery deadlines or the presentation of false documentation
Start the count down. There is hardly a week left before the deadline for taxpayers to render accounts with the Treasury. Despite carrying out a procedure that is repeated every year, a survey carried out by the TaxScouts platform shows that 50% of Spaniards are afraid of making mistakes that result in a fine from the Treasury. These are the main ones that should be avoided in order not to receive sanctions that in some cases can reach up to 30,000 euros:
1. Errors in terms
If a taxpayer files the declaration before the Treasury requires it and the result is to be returned, there will be a surcharge of 100 euros, while if it is to be paid, the surcharge will increase according to the months of delay with which it is presented: 5% if it is filed later, 10% if it is 6 months or up to 20% if it takes more than a year.
In the event that the declaration is to be paid, and the Treasury requires for the presentation, a fine will be imposed, which depending on whether it is considered a serious or minor infraction, can be between 50% and 150% of the amount to be paid. . "In the unlikely event that the Treasury requires the result to be returned, the corresponding amount will be returned, but an economic penalty of 200 euros will be imposed," the TaxScouts experts recall.
2. Errors in the declaration
Although the Tax Agency cannot impose penalties for income mistakes, it can do so when the resolution of the errors made favors the taxpayer and, the later the error is corrected, the greater the surcharge the Tax Agency may apply. "Thus, the solution of errors 3 months after the term is 5%, at 6 months 10%, at 12 months 15% and after that term the surcharge rises to 20%", indicate the experts.
3. Presentation of false documentation
Invoices, documents and supporting documents that are illegal and represent a benefit for the taxpayer in the Income Statement of more than 3,000 euros may be subject to a penalty of between 50% and 100% of the amount.
Additionally, if the taxpayer uses fraudulent means, the fine may rise to 150% of the amount, as it is considered a serious offense.
4. Omission of information
In the case in which the taxpayer uses fraudulent methods to defraud the Treasury, it will be considered a serious infraction and the penalty can reach up to 150% depending on the damage caused.
In the event that the fraud is millionaire, the fines can carry penalties such as public aid, subsidies and even professional suspension.
