How the IRPF refund works in Spain

The Renta (IRPF) reconciles the withholdings your employer paid to AEAT throughout the year with the actual tax liability that results from applying the IRPF brackets to your net taxable base, after subtracting the personal and family minimum and applicable deductions.

If the withheld amounts exceed your final liability, AEAT refunds the difference. If they fall short, you owe a top-up payment. Employer withholding is an estimate calculated at the start of the year; life changes (new child, change of employer, new deductions) typically result in a refund.

IRPF 2025 brackets (state + average regional scale)

Taxable base Marginal rate
0 — EUR 12,450 19%
EUR 12,450 — 20,200 24%
EUR 20,200 — 35,200 30%
EUR 35,200 — 60,000 37%
EUR 60,000 — 300,000 45%
Over EUR 300,000 47%

Key deductions you can claim

The maternity deduction (up to EUR 1,200 per child under 3) applies directly against the tax liability, not the base. Pension plan contributions reduce the taxable base (up to EUR 1,500 individual plus employer contributions). Regional deductions vary widely: Catalonia and Valencia are especially generous on birth, rental and education deductions.

A tax adviser can identify deductions not automatically included in the AEAT draft return, especially in cases of mixed income (employment + freelance activity), jointly owned assets, or taxpayers who changed personal circumstances in 2025.

Frequently asked questions about the 2025 IRPF refund

When can I file the 2025 Spanish tax return?

The 2025 Renta campaign (tax year 2025) typically opens in early April 2026 and closes on 30 June 2026. Online filing is available from day one; phone and in-person appointments are added later in the campaign.

What is a withholding (retencion) and how does it affect my refund?

A withholding is a tax advance deducted from your payslip by your employer and paid to the Spanish Tax Agency (AEAT). If the total withheld exceeds your actual IRPF liability for the year, you receive a refund. If it falls short, you owe a top-up payment.

Which regional deductions can increase my refund?

Each autonomous community approves its own deductions: birth or adoption of a child, rental of a primary residence, school expenses, donations to regional charities, home renovation, care of elderly dependants, etc. In some regions (Catalonia, Valencia) deductions can exceed EUR 600 per child.

When is joint filing better?

Joint filing applies a special reduction of EUR 3,400 to the taxable base for married couples (EUR 2,150 for single-parent families). It usually makes sense when one spouse has no or very low income, because the IRPF brackets are not doubled in joint filing.

How long does AEAT take to pay a refund?

The legal deadline is 6 months from the end of the filing period (usually by December). In practice, if you file in the first days and there are no issues, the refund typically arrives within 2-4 weeks via bank transfer to the account you register.

What if the result is a payment rather than a refund?

If your calculated IRPF liability exceeds your withheld amounts, you owe a payment to AEAT. You can request direct debit up to the last day of the campaign, or split the payment: 60% on filing and 40% in November. A tax adviser can check whether all deductions have been applied before you file.

Am I required to file a Spanish income tax return?

As a general rule, employees with employment income above EUR 22,000 from a single payer (or EUR 15,000 from two or more payers) must file. Also required: capital income or gains above EUR 1,600, or rental income above EUR 1,000. Even if not required, it may be worth filing if the result is a refund.

Methodology and sources

This calculator applies the 2025 IRPF brackets (tax year 2025, filed in 2026) to estimate a refund or payment in the Renta. Includes personal and family minimum under Law 35/2006 (LIRPF) and the main state deductions.

Assumptions applied by this calculator

Withholdings as advance payment
The Renta result is the difference between the calculated net tax liability and the withholdings already deducted by the employer. Excess withholdings produce a refund; a deficit produces a payment to AEAT.
Deductions applied
The calculator includes common state deductions (maternity, large family, pension plan). It does not cover specific regional deductions, complex situations (multiple employers, capital income, capital gains) or non-standard deductions.
