Those taxpayers who have already filed their return and direct payment will be charged on May 20
The Executive will provide the self-employed with the declaration by direct estimate, until May 20, and will allow them to renounce the system of modules
The Government plans to approve a royal decree in the Council of Ministers on Tuesday to establish the extension of the deadlines for filing and paying quarterly tax returns so that the self-employed and SMEs with the most difficulties can submit them until May 20, instead of April.
In addition, foreseeably the rule will allow them to renounce the system of modules and pay taxes for the direct estimate, along with changes in Corporate Tax.
The Government spokesperson and Minister of Finance, María Jesús Montero, already advanced these measures in the press conference after the extraordinary Council of Ministers last Friday, in which she indicated that the Government was working to extend the deadlines and the presentation of tax payments, monitoring the economic situation and the circumstances and problems that arise.
Specifically, it will be easier for people who have greater difficulty due to their type of business or establishment, in relation to the closure declared by the state of alarm, to submit the declaration until May 20 instead of having to do so in April.
The term for the VAT declaration began on April 1 and ends on April 20, although the term for direct debit expires tomorrow, Wednesday, April 15, while the term to pay the IRPF withholdings and the division of Companies also ends on April 20.
In this way, the postponement that the Council of Ministers will approve this Tuesday arrives less than a day before the end of the deadline for direct debit, although it has already been announced that those taxpayers who have already done so, the charge in the bank will be applied as to the rest, on May 20.
Direct estimation system for freelancers
In the same way, it will be approved that the self-employed and SMEs can renounce the module system and can be taxed by direct estimation, and some aspect related to Corporation Tax will also be modified.
The Minister of Finance indicated last Friday that all the tax measures had already been reported in the social dialogue.
From the sector, the Spanish Association of Tax Advisors (Aedaf) and the General Council of Economists, among others, have sent several letters to the minister in recent weeks demanding the extension of the tax term, as well as the self-employed organizations (ATA, UPTA and Uatae) and even the Ombudsman responded to the request urging the Treasury to extend the deadlines from April to April in VAT and personal income tax for SMEs and the self-employed, along with the extension to September 30 of the Income Campaign, a request also made by Gestha.
These new measures to extend the terms are in addition to the six-month moratorium, the first three without interest, approved in mid-March for the deferral of up to 30,000 euros in taxes for the self-employed and SMEs, and the moratorium on Social Security contributions, also for six months, approved at the end of March for companies and the self-employed.
