Surcharge in the second division of the IRS ends up in January – the Public.en

After all, the taxpayers who are in the second tier of income already will not retain surcharge of IRS in the next year. The measure ends on 31 December, but if you apply in January, earlier than was registered in the initial proposal of the State Budget for 2017. Until now, the Government predicted that the surcharge would be retained until March 31 (this is after you have indented with the intention of ending the surcharge at every age level 1 January of the next year).

The news, advanced by TVI, was already confirmed by the PUBLIC from sources parliamentary and governmental. In the second step of the IRS – that from 2017 it covers income tax basis for the 7091 euros to 20.261 euros per year – are about a million and 150 thousand households.

After negotiations between the Government and the parties that support it in Parliament, it was agreed, on Thursday evening, that the surcharge for these taxpayers disappears early in January.

the question Remains whether the retention periods of the surcharge remain the same for the other levels of income, the information that the PUBLIC could not yet confirm.

According to the information collected by the PUBLIC, the change of the measure for the second step implies a loss of revenue of about ten million euros compared to the initial design, that is, whether the surcharge IRS to continue to be retained for these taxpayers in January, February and March.

Initially, the proposal of the State Budget for 2017 provided that the taxpayers of the second tier would be subject to retention until March 31. As the incidence of the tax is annual, the surcharge applied on all annual income would be 0.25%, but as the retention applied only in the first three months of the year, the retained amount would be 1%, equal to the value of this year.

After the Government presented in October a proposal for OE to 2017, the secretary of State for Parliamentary Affairs, Pedro Nuno Santos said that the raw structuring of the budget, including the surcharge, were already "resolved in the draft law", but the theme turned to be negotiated between the Government and the partners to the left.

with Respect to the other levels of the IRS, are unaware of the changes. That are set out in the initial proposal of the OE to the third level (of more than 20.261 euros until 40.522 euros) is that there is retention in the source during half of the year (until June 30). In this step there are about 365 thousand households.

In the fourth step (more than 40.522 euros up to 80.640 euros), the surcharge is retained until 30 September 2017, covering 80 thousand households. For the 12 thousand contributors of the last income, up from 80.640 euros, the surcharge is retained until November 30.

during the months in which there is withholding in 2017, taxpayers continue to pay exactly the same this year because if you apply the rates currently 2016. The difference is that the Government’s proposal brings changes to the tax rates for the year (because the surcharge applies to all income earned throughout the year). The fee provided to the third level is 0.88%, 2.25% for the fourth, and 3,21% for the fifth.
