1. Background.
As usual every year, the Dirección General Impositiva – DGI (Revenue Agency) begins the campaign for Individuals Income Tax refund or also called IRPF (Impuesto a la Renta de Personas Físicas, in Spanish).
It is important to consider that this tax has an annual nature, where the taxpayers’ employers make monthly payments on account through the salaries withholding, then at the end of the fiscal year, a liquidation is made and, in certain cases, there are taxpayers with refunds to collect.
One of these cases occurs when the employee has obtained a higher salary than usual in some months of the year, making the monthly withholding at a higher rate than the one that should have been applied considering the income for the whole year.
2. Find out if there is a refund in your favor.
To determine if there is a balance in favor of the worker, enter to DGI website with the tax ID card, and check if there is a credit in favor.
On the other hand, you will also be able to consult the IRPF 2021 refund with more information for the taxpayer, using a username of the organism, and accessing the Online Services / Refunds.
In case you do not have your Agency Revenue (DGI) password to enter and verify, a request may be performed at Red Pagos or Abitab collection networks by presenting your ID card.
To make it easier for our readers, we leave you the link to the DGI to check whether or not you have refunds: https://servicios.dgi.gub.uy/ServiciosEnLinea/ConsultaDevolucioneIRPF_IASS_IRNR
3. Refunds delivery.
This refund procedure by DGI started on June 16, in the cases of automatic refunds for dependent workers.
Since July 15, refunds were made based on the affidavit through credits to banks.
As of this Wednesday, July 28, refunds may be collected in the Abitab and Red Pagos collection networks by those who have filed the affidavit up to July 16.
