Deadline
File Renta 2025 from 8 April through 30 June 2026. If you direct-debit payment, the deadline is 25 June. Confirm the separate Form 721 deadline where it applies.

Do not confuse Form 721 with Form 720: Form 721 concerns virtual currencies held abroad. The Tax Agency says Form 721 is not required where the combined 31 December value does not exceed EUR 50,000; if it does, all applicable virtual currencies are reported.
