A credit can only be offset when an agreement recognises the requested refund

The applicant asks whether an amount to be refunded in their Personal Income Tax (IRPF) self-assessment is considered a recognised credit for the purpose of offsetting other debts. The Directorate General for Taxes (DGT) responds that a credit is only deemed recognised once the agreement acknowledging the refund has been issued.
