Keys to the income statement for those affected by ERTE

Having more than one taxpayer, possible mistakes made by the State Employment Agency (SEPE) in the payment of benefits or the withholding tax applied can have important consequences in the declaration. These are some keys.

Why is the income statement different for those affected by ERTE?

Since workers affected by ERTE receive a SEPE allowance, They had two payers in 2021 (your company and SEPE) for tax purposes.

If the taxpayer has more than one taxpayer, If you have entered more than 14,000 Euros, you must make a statement, as long as the installments of all payers from the second do not reach 1,500 euros. This is so because some taxpayers are unaware of others’ payments and withholdings, so it is necessary to adjust taxation.

If there are two payers, do you have to pay more than there is one?

No. The taxation is the same because it depends on the income earned, not the number of taxpayers.

Will the result of the declaration be the same as in other years?

subject to withholding which has been applied. Normally, when a worker has only one employer, the employer withholds on their income.

This is one of the main concerns of many groups and even the Ombudsman has warned about it. exceptional situation in which workers find themselves Those who have received higher benefits for ERTE than their corresponding counterparts.

According to treasury technicians (Gestha), if SEPE has unnecessarily requested reimbursement of amounts paid and they are returned in 2021, the tax data must be accurate and reflect actual income.

In its place, If PA requested extradition and the return was made in 2022, it is possible that the draft does not contain corrections.. In these cases, the taxpayer must modify the draft to record the actual amounts charged after deducting the refund.

Finally, in cases where the PA has not yet requested a refund at the time of filing the tax return, the taxpayer must declare the total income earned. Then, once the SEPE has requested the refund and the refund has been made, the taxpayer self-assessment correction request fix the refund and recover the excess tax amounts when appropriate.
