Overtime hours from 2023 must be taxed in 2023 even if paid in 2024

A worker asks in which year to declare overtime paid in 2023 but received in January 2024. The DGT responds that such hours must be attributed to the year in which they became due, i.e. 2023.

The question raised

Temporal imputation in Personal Income Tax (IRPF) of the amount received.

The DGT's ruling

Employment income is imputed to the tax period in which it becomes due. When, due to circumstances not attributable to the taxpayer, payments are received in periods different from their due date, they shall be imputed to the period of due date through a supplementary tax return. In this case, the due date for overtime pay corresponds to the year in which it was performed, and therefore it must be taxed in 2023.
