The General Tax Directorate (DGI) has established 31 August as the final deadline for submitting the IRPF tax return for the 2025 fiscal year. Those who do not comply on time face fines of 910 pesos for each return.
The General Tax Directorate (DGI) has set 31 August as the deadline for taxpayers required to submit the Income Tax for Individuals (IRPF) return for the 2025 fiscal year. The deadline, which began with the 2026 IRPF campaign, affects both dependent and independent workers.
According to the agency, taxpayers can access their online form with pre-filled data, which they must verify or modify according to their income from the previous year. Upon completing the return, each person will know whether they owe a balance to the DGI or, conversely, if they have a credit in their favour.
The DGI reminds that late submission incurs a fine of 910 pesos for each tax return not submitted on time. For those taxpayers without activity in the declared period, the penalty is the same, capped at 2,730 pesos if multiple returns are submitted at the same time.
Who is required to declare?
The agency has detailed in an official communication which individuals must submit the IRPF tax return. In general terms, all taxpayers who have earned income from work or capital during the 2025 fiscal year and exceed the minimum thresholds set by tax regulations are required to do so.
Dependent workers will find their data already pre-filled in the system, while independent workers will need to manually enter their income and verify the payments and withholdings from their activity. The DGI recommends reviewing all information carefully before confirming.
Steps to submit the tax return
The DGI has published a guide on its website with three steps to correctly carry out the procedure. The first is to access the online tax return or through the DGI app, using the taxpayer's digital identity.
Once inside, the second step is to review the pre-filled data. The first line of the form shows whether the taxpayer has a balance to pay or a credit in their favour according to the available information. At this point, data can be edited or additional information can be added.
The third and final step is to confirm the return after verifying that all data is correct. If a balance to pay appears, payment slips can be generated at that moment and paid online or at collection networks. If, on the contrary, a refund arises, the DGI will review the information and notify the taxpayer via SMS if it is approved or if there are any observations.
Consequences of not submitting on time
The DGI has warned that the fine for submitting the tax return late is 910 pesos for each return. For taxpayers without activity in the declared period, the penalty is the same, with a maximum of 2,730 pesos if multiple returns are submitted at the same time.
The agency emphasizes the importance of meeting the deadline to avoid financial penalties and potential administrative complications. Additionally, it reminds that the tax return is a mandatory procedure for those who exceed the income thresholds established by law.
For more information, taxpayers can consult the DGI website or use public service channels. The deadline ends on 31 August, so it is recommended not to leave it until the last minute.
