Tax declaration

During the last days I’ve been utterly busy with the compilation of documents for the tax declaration of the last year. This is a task that I should have done step by step throughout the year, in order to do small tasks more frequently. The truth is that I normally procrastinate it to the end, although I only take care of the straightforward part, the compilation, since the tricky part is done by a tax advisor.

I find several differences between the procedure in Spain and in Germany, where I have been living for the last years. In a nutshell, the tax declaration in Germany offers more chances of tax relief but with the linked burden of the required paperwork, which allows the tax and revenue office to proof the correctness of that relief. In Germany you can get tax deductions for a lot of different concepts such as books, electronic devices, double household (including trips between the two households). The deadlines here are also different. In the case of Spain you should deliver your declaration before the end of June and it is mandatory to do it every year. In Germany you get more flexibility in that respect, since you have time until year’s end. Furthermore, it is not always mandatory to deliver a tax declaration each year. That depends upon several variables.

A clear advantage to Spain in that area is the more advanced state of the so called “digitalization”. That offers an infrastructure that can be used to prepare and deliver a declaration more quickly. The tax filer receives each year a digital draft of the tax declaration, based on the ones of the latter years. For straightforward cases, when the declarant just has to read and sign the document, the issue can be solved in a matter of minutes.

It is not to say that digitalization works like a charm in Spain. But the country usually occupies a position in the top ten within Europe. This is not the case of Germany, which is for sure, no role model in that regard. A lot has already been written related to the German underdevelopment in the digitalization, but no definitive solution has been found.
