Revenue season updates on 2022 income tax refunds and refund methods

Revenue season is under way and taxpayers are talking about the 2022 income year refunds

The revenue campaign is in full swing, and the most proactive taxpayers are already examining the 2022 fiscal year income data. This year’s collections aren’t dramatically different from previous years, yet about 23 million tax returns are anticipated, reflecting a 3.4% rise from fiscal 2021. The tax authorities estimate that around 13.6 million filings will generate refunds averaging 9,946 million euros. People receiving negative results naturally wonder how long it will take for the tax office to process and reimburse them. The Tax Administration, AEAT, has set clear timelines for these refunds. Since delays can be uncomfortable, many ask whether AEAT has signaled continued progress on refunds, and the answer is yes, with the following guidance.

Attention: the treasury will start refunding rental payments from today

The Treasury will notify taxpayers by SMS or email when a rental refund is issued. But to receive these notices, the taxpayer must opt in to communications and provide contact details. This is a simple step that can be completed through AEAT’s electronic center. Without consent, notifications may be sent by mail, which tends to be slower.

You can check the rental refund status in these ways

If a person prefers not to share a phone number or email, two additional methods exist to monitor refunds. First, visit the Tax Office’s electronic headquarters, access the transactions, and review progress. Second, download and use the government agency’s mobile app, available for iOS and Android, sign in, and enable push updates.

automatic posts

Regardless of the method, AEAT mainly communicates through SMS and emails. In either case, a negative-income taxpayer will typically receive the following notification: Your 2022 Personal Income Tax refund is ordered to be paid. Do not reply to this message. This is an automated posting from an unattended address. If you need to respond, use AEAT’s official channels.
