During the last few days, I’ve been utterly(so / really / very) busy with the compilation ofing documents for theis year's tax declaration of the last year.

Utterly feels too formal for this, but it's not wrong if you really want to use it.

Even though a tax declaration is for "last year", we say it is "this year's" instead, because we cannot complete a declaration for the future. That means that "last year" is actually "this year".

This is (a task/something) that I should have done step by step throughout the year, in order to dbreak it into smaller tasks more frequently.

The truth is that I normally procrastinate it to the end, auntil the last minute. 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 few 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. This allows the tax and revenue office to proof the correctness of that relief.ve if that relief is correct or not.

In Germany, you can get tax deductions for a lot of different concepts such as books, electronic devices, and double households (including trips between the two households).

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 the year’s end.

A clear advantage to Spain in that area is the more advanced state of the so -called “digitalization”.

That[(They / Spain) or (It / Digitalization)] offers an infrastructure that can be used to prepare and deliver a declaration more quickly.

TEach year, the tax filer receives each year a digital draft of the tax declaration, based on the ones of theone from latter years.

It is not to say that digitalization works like a charm in Spain.,

Bbut the country usually occupies a position in the top ten within Europe.

This is not the case ofor Germany, which is (for sure, / certainly) 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.
