Retired mutualists who are due to receive the IRPF refund find themselves supported by a significant organization
Just a few hours ago, the Tax Agency was in the spotlight of an association that knows the Treasury well. Everything erupted after a statement from the State Tax Inspectors Association. This organization has criticized the IRPF refund procedure for retired mutualists, generating some hope for the near future of those affected.
Tax inspectors, outraged over IRPF refunds
The IHE, or Tax Inspection, is the body responsible for ensuring compliance with tax obligations in Spain. Thousands of retirees who contributed to old labor mutualities between 1967 and 1978 have been waiting for the refund of taxes they believe they overpaid.
However, the recent decision by the Treasury to temporarily suspend these refunds and modify the procedure has caused outrage among those affected. Until now, mutualists could request the refund of taxes for all non-prescribed years in a single procedure.
Problems with refunds for retired mutualists
Nevertheless, starting in 2025, the Treasury has established a new procedure. This requires those affected to claim refunds year by year, during the established periods for filing tax returns.
This modification has been described as "incomprehensible" by the IHE, which considers that it "violates constitutional and legal principles," creating inequalities among pensioners.
Solution to these changes in criteria
To address this situation, it is essential for retired mutualists to adequately inform themselves about the new procedure and the established deadlines. Although the change in criteria has caused uncertainty, the solution lies in adapting to the new claims process. Submitting the corresponding applications for each affected fiscal year.
Additionally, it is advisable for those affected to seek advice from professionals or associations specialized in tax matters to ensure their rights are respected and that applications are submitted correctly.
Overall, although the recent changes in the IRPF refund procedure for retired mutualists have caused concern, it is important to remain calm. It is essential for those affected to understand the new process. They must act according to the new guidelines to ensure the recovery of taxes overpaid.
