How long does it take for the Treasury to return the money from the income statement?

But what happens if the Treasury does not effect the refund within this period?

If in these six months the Treasury does not pay us the refund money, there is no need to panic. One of the reasons why the Inland Revenue can take time to resolve a return and pay the money is because of its complexity. Such as when there are many payers and the Tax Agency wants to make sure that all the data is correct.

Once the six months have passed, the refund amount will be accompanied by late interest.

How can you check the status of the statement?

Once the declaration has been submitted, the Tax Agency's own website allows taxpayers to know the different phases of the process. These are the messages referring to the processing status:

  1. The statement is being processed. Indicates that the documentation has been sent by the taxpayer.
  2. The statement is being verified. The Treasury technicians are doing the checks to validate that all the data is correctly added.
  3. The statement with the indicated amount has not been taxed or is in process. Check the amount. If this message appears, there may be a problem with the submission of the statement that needs to be reviewed.
  4. The declaration has been processed by the Tax Administration bodies, and it is estimated according to the refund requested by you. The Treasury has already checked that everything is correct.
  5. The refund has been issued. This means that the payment has already been issued and within a maximum period of 10 days the taxpayer will receive the amount. If this does not happen, the taxpayer must go to the administration of the Tax Agency closest to the tax domicile.
