The quarterly return, without the stress

The declaración trimestral is the set of taxes a freelancer files every three months: usually the modelo 303 (IVA) and, where applicable, the 130 (IRPF), the 111 or the 115. The windows are 1–20 April, July and October, and 1–30 January.

The declaración trimestral isn't a single tax, but your date with the tax office every three months. Depending on your case, you file the modelo 303 for IVA and, if it applies, the modelo 130 for IRPF, the 111 or the 115.

The windows are the same for all: 1–20 April (Q1), 1–20 July (Q2), 1–20 October (Q3) and 1–30 January (Q4). If you pay by direct debit, they close a few days earlier.

How Cece sees it

The quarter is scary when it lands all at once. If you set tax aside the day you're paid for each invoice, reaching the quarterly return is just confirming numbers you'd already put away.

Frequently asked questions

Which returns are filed each quarter?

Most commonly the modelo 303 (IVA) and, where applicable, the 130 (IRPF). If you have employees or pay invoices with retención you file the 111, and if you rent premises, the 115. Not every freelancer files all of them.
