First of all, the RENTA Campaign will NOT be postponed as a result of the COVID-19 crisis.
For the RENTA 2019 (declaration in 2020) the Renta Web that was introduced in 2016, is available again to file your tax return online, without the need to download software first (like the Padre system before) and with access from not just desktop or laptop computer, but from tablets as well. You can also download the Agencia Tributaria App and file your Renta declaration through that. The Tax Office no longer sends ´Reference Numbers´ or notifications by SMS, the App is now used for that.
Only those with economic activities to declare will still have to use the Padre system to file their income tax return.

Changes with regards to previous forms: the part where you have to fill out data for property(s) you own has been simplified. Also, for those with rental income from property, the ‘borrador’ now provides a list with possible deductions. The module where you have to put in your fiscal data, has been simplified as well.
