Let’s start by remembering that the Public Treasury does not give anything, as you already know. The strange thing, although true, is that now they are compensate for an error that occurred 56 years ago and this meant that some workers paid more taxes. An error that occurred in the last years of the dictatorship and which even violated the laws of the time.
More precisely, it is an error which affects workers in construction, metallurgy and commerce between 1967 and 1978. If you have worked in these sectors during these years or if a member of your family has, we will tell you how to claim it from an iPhone or Mac.
Why is the Treasury returning this money now?
What is the origin of the problem for which the Treasury is now returning 4,000 dollars? Well, basically, some workers in the aforementioned sectors (construction, metallurgy and trade) were paying 100% tax for their future (already present) pensions instead of 75%. This additional 25% now turns into a reimbursement which, going from pesetas to dollars and taking into account the increase in the cost of living, amounts to around 3,000 to 4,000 dollars.
Thus, although more than half a century has already passed, the tax administration received a ruling from the Supreme Court a few months ago which allows the people concerned to opening a supplementary declaration. This is an additional declaration of the last years not prescribed and which will compensate in a certain way the section in which the contributions were more paid between January 1, 1967 and until December 31, 1978.
Concretely, it is a question of carrying out a additional income tax return for the years 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022 which, as we said before, are the only years that have not expired. It is therefore advisable to check whether 100% of the pension has been added to these statements and, if so, to claim it. Likewise, it is requested that subsequent declarations be imposed in accordance with this judgment.
Here’s how current retirees can claim
To submit the additional declaration you can go to an AEAT headquarters or present it online if you are registered with Cl@ve or have a digital certificate. To get started, you must make an appointment on the AEAT website or call 91 290 13 40 (or 901 200 351).
In the last two cases, you just need to have a web browser on your mobile and You can also enlist the help of another person to act as your representative.
- Go to the AEAT website, in the section dedicated to Income.
- Click on ‘Project/declaration processing service (WEB Income)’.
- Identify yourself using Cl@ve, electronic certificate, electronic DNI or reference number (box 505 of the last tax return).
- Choose whether you are acting on your own behalf or as a representative.
- Choose the ‘Edit declaration’ option.
Once this is done, you must edit incorrect data and add any additional documents which are necessary. Likewise, remember that this process must be carried out in each of the declarations from 2018 to 2022.
