One of the news
One of the news of this year is the possibility of consigning 1% of IRs to institutions of solidarity, cultural, religious or environmental. This measure results from the decision of the parliament to increase the percentage of consignment, doubling it in relation to previous years.
“The very relevant role that these institutions play in the economy and society deserves to be recognized,” says the secretary of state, encouraging taxpayers to make this choice when filling the statement.
Increase of taxpayers who have consigned to institutions
Last year, 1,015,864 taxpayers chose to consign a part of their tax, which resulted in a total amount of 37.4 million euros distributed to more than five thousand institutions. Compared to the previous year, there was an increase in both the number of taxpayers who chose this option and the assigned value, which in 2022 was 33.2 million euros from 920,211 statements.
IRS consignment is a simple way to support social causes at no cost to the taxpayer. The indicated amount is taken from the tax that would go to the state and forwarded to the chosen entity. In addition, this option has no impact on taxpayers’ reimbursement, and is an effective way to contribute to the well-being of the community.

Thus, by fulfilling all these good practices, taxpayers will be able to avoid delays in processing their statement and ensure that they receive any refunds in the shortest possible time.
