This Thursday, the Gipuzkoa Treasury updated the guide to claim compensation for having paid more personal income tax due to an error recognized by the Tax Agency. In recent weeks, the Guipuzcoan regional treasury has been experiencing a flood of queries and requests from mutual members and former workers to request the reimbursement of these amounts, which on average amounted to about 2,500 euros.
Inquiries and complaints have skyrocketed in recent days. This Thursday, the Provincial Council presented a document to present the claim. It is a simple claim document, with name, surname and ID, and explaining the reason for the request. Furthermore, this Friday the Treasury has decided to reinforce attention to the avalanche of requests from retirees due to the error in personal income tax. Former Nursing, Education and Railway workers join former Banking, Metal or Construction employees, and the Treasury sets up its own window with advisors.
What requirements must be fulfilled?
Be from Gipuzkoa and have submitted the income tax return in the years 2019, 2020, 2021 and/or 2022. Applicants must receive a retirement pension and must have worked before December 31, 1978, the date until which they were in the old pension mechanism comes into force. In 1979 that mutuality was extinguished, and Social Security took over.
What documents must you present to the Treasury?
It is only necessary to fill out a document with your name and surname, ID, company and sector where you work. The reason for the claim is written (“request rectification of the income tax returns submitted in non-prescribed years so that the Supreme Court’s ruling on labor mutual societies is applied”). They are collected at the Treasury offices. It cannot be done online.
Should the company always have contributed to a mutual society to collect compensation?
Yes. To be entitled to compensation, the company in which that person worked must have contributed to a labor mutual insurance company. This requirement will be validated with Social Security.
Can someone be excluded despite meeting the requirements?
Yes. People who receive a widow’s or orphan’s pension will not have the right to this compensation.
If the affected person has died, is he or she entitled to compensation?
Your heirs have the right to a refund of personal income tax for the years that have not expired.
