The minister of Hacienda, Economy and Public Administration, Ruth Merino, has highlighted that, as the 2023 Income campaign closes, in the province of Alicante more than 4,000 declarations have already been submitted through the services of the Tax Agency Valenciana and the liquidating offices, which represents an increase of 12.5% with respect to the previous year. This increase is due to the implementation of more face-to-face attention points, which in the case of this province have increased to 26 compared to the 9 of the previous campaign, almost triple.
"The Council is committed to a modern tax administration, agile and close to Valencian citizens, which can assist taxpayers quickly and efficiently, with the aim of being able to help them in the preparation and presentation of this tax", indicated the responsible for Valencian finances.
Ruth Merino made these statements after visiting the face-to-face service point in Benidorm, one of the 25 Mortgage Distrito Liquidating Offices in the province that has provided, together with the ATV delegation in the city of Alicante, the free face-to-face service and personalized for the 2023 Income Statement that ends this Monday.
The councilor was accompanied by the director of the Valencian Tax Agency, Sonia Díaz; the mayor of Benidorm, Toni Pérez; the head of the Liquidating Office of Benidorm, Ruth Juste, and the regional dean of the College of Registrars of the Valencian Community, Carlos Orts.
Ruth Merino has also indicated that 11,702 declarations have already been processed in the 68 points authorised in the Valencian Community for the presentation of the income declaration. These are provisional figures which, as in the case of those of the province of Alicante, will be higher when the incorporation of the definitive data takes place once the campaign closes on July 1.
As regards the province of Alicante, it is expected that 911,810 declarations will be submitted, which represents 1.3% more than in 2022. In addition, it is estimated that 60.8% of the total declarations (554,960) will be submitted to return for a total amount of 377 million.
The head of Hacienda also took advantage of the last day of the Renta 2023 campaign to thank the work of all the staff of the Valencian Tax Agency and the collaborating entities "because they have shown great professionalism that has resulted in a qualitative improvement in administrative efficiency during the campaign".
Expansion of the network of attention points
The person in charge of the Valencian finances has stressed that the main innovation of this new tax campaign has been the extension of the in-person attention points to help the Valencian taxpayers in the preparation of the declaration. Thus, it has gone from the 25 points enabled last year to a total of 68 distributed throughout the Community to offer this service, with which the Generalitat assists and helps Valencian taxpayers to prepare their 2023 Income Statement.
Specifically, since last June 3, the ATV has provided, together with the State Agency of Public Administration (AEAT), the service 'Más Cerca de ti' for face-to-face, free and personalised attention with what it has offered at the headquarters of the ATV in the three provincial capitals, in 62 Distrito Hipotecario Liquidating Offices and in the municipalities of Ademuz, Ayora and Chiva.
As far as the province of Alicante is concerned, this assistance is provided in the ATV delegation in Alicante (Calle Churruca, 25), as well as in 25 liquidating offices located in the municipalities of Alcoy, Altea, Benidorm, Callosa d'en Sarriá , Callosa de Segura, Calpe, Campello, Cocentaina, Denia, Dolores, Elche, Elda, Guardamar de Segura, Jávea, Jijona, Monóvar, Novelda, Orihuela, Pedreguer, Pego, Pilar de la Horadada, Santa Pola, Torrevieja, Villajoyosa and Villena .
It should be remembered that these offices are assigned functions of management and liquidation of taxes on Inheritance and Donations and on Asset Transfers and Documented Legal Acts, so they have specialized staff in tax matters and the necessary means to provide this service.
