Back pay for overtime must be attributed to the year it was due, not the year it is paid

A civil servant inquired about how to declare overtime back pay from 2018, 2019, and 2020 that was received in 2021 for Income Tax (IRPF) purposes. The Directorate General of Taxes (DGT) ruled that these amounts must be attributed to the years in which the overtime was actually worked via supplementary tax returns.

How it affects those involved
