The deadlines established to comply with this obligation range from August 12 to October 24, 2025 (attached image).

Please note that if you file your return after the established deadline, you will have to pay a late payment penalty. This penalty is equivalent to 5% of your tax liability and increases with each month or fraction of a month that passes between the payment deadline and the date on which this obligation is filed.
