Express Tax Returns: Who and How do they earn ‘hot money’ every week

With … a thousand « income tax returns », as they broke the 1 million barrier within 22 days.

That is, almost 1 in 6 taxpayers has already submitted its tax return, and by April 25, AADE will have received more than 2 million statements, as all pre -cleaned statements for 1.5 million taxpayers, mainly employees and retirees will enter into the system.

According to the latest data from AADE, from March 17, 2025, the platform opened by Saturday, April 5, 2025, 969,714 statements had been submitted.

The X-ray x-ray shows that seven out of ten taxpayers either do not pay any tax or have a tax refund for the income they earned in 2024.

More than 1 in 4 statements come out debt, with taxpayers already taking the ‘cold’ of the clearance, as the average additional tax they are required to pay reaches 1,255 euros.

One in four tax returns gives a tax refund of 336 euros on average, while nearly 1 in 2 taxes are zero. The tax refund they are already entitled to have already received over 95,000 taxpayers, with AADE having already paid € 22.4 million while in parallel it is running the debt offsetting with income tax refunds.

Indeed, this year’s tax refunds are being made faster to taxpayers with credit clearance.

Taxpayers without tax or insurance debts or information freezing see within a week of submission of the declaration the amount of tax refund to their bank account, while for those who have tax debts, AADE proceeds to set off the tax refund with their debts.

The offspring are centrally per week, while those who cannot be carried out are centrally handled by the DOIs or the KEVES, without the need for a tax return request.

In any case, a prerequisite for the refund of taxes to the beneficiaries is the proper statement of the IBAN account to the Myaade Digital Portal.

At the same time, however, in the drawers of tax services, there are 168m euros in tax refunds, with AADE searching for taxpayers to refund the money they are entitled to.

These are amounts that cannot be repaid due to mainly exogenous factors, such as the non -response of the beneficiaries or the non -submission of the necessary supporting documents.

According to the latest data from the Ministry of National Economy and Finance, the total amount of pending tax refunds in January 2025 « inflated » by EUR 184 million and amounted to € 915 million from € 731 million in December 2024.

27.3% of the declarations made so far are debit, with the amount of tax reaching € 355 million. The tax resulting from the clearance of the declaration is paid in 8 monthly installments or one -off with a gradual deduction. The first installment of the tax is paid until July 31, 2025 and the remaining seven until the last business day of the next seven months. If the tax is paid lump sum, the total amount of the Discount tax is provided:

¢ 4% if the statement is submitted by April 30,

¢ 3% if the statement was made by June 15 and

¢ 2% if the statement is made by July 15.

In the event of a timely amending declaration, which derives an additional amount of tax for payment, and the taxpayer wishes to pay the total amount of the one -off tax by 31 July 2025, shall be provided:

¢ For the original tax amount, the deduction rate corresponding to the time of submission of the original statement, while

¢ If the amending declaration results in an additional amount of tax, the deduction rate corresponding to the time submission of the amending declaration.
