If the tax authorities suspect they know everything about your personal income tax, you will receive a proposal of simplified declarations. In other words, this means that the tax authority has already filled in your yearly tax return itself and then sends you a proposal thereof.
What is a proposal of simplified declarations? 🔎
Basically, you have to fill in a personal income tax return yourself yearly. However, for taxpayers whose tax situation remains fairly similar over the years, a proposal of simplified declarations has existed for several years. 🧮
In such a proposal, you can find a simulation of your personal income tax calculations based on the data that the tax authorities know automatically anyway. Those data are, for example, pay slips, pension savings, services cheques …
All these data are filled in automatically in your personal income tax and you receive a proposal of your final tax letter on that basis. So it’s not that this return is effectively simpler or calculated differently.
It is the same data as always in the same tax letter as always, only it is already cast in a final tax letter. If you do not respond to this proposal of simplified declaration, you may consider your tax letter as submitted, fully automatic. If you would still like to make an adjustment, you can do so just as easily via Tax-on-web. 🌐
Also for you?
Quite possibly, as more than 3,800,000 proposals of simplified declarations will be made in 2022. If the tax authorities estimate they have all your data and your declarations are not too complex, you will receive on such a simplified proposal.

What should you do if you received a simplified return? 🤷
As a Dexxter user, you exercise an independent activity and therefore the proposal of simplified declarations will never be correct!
This is because the tax authorities cannot have the figures from your self-employed activities, it is up to you to fill them in yearly in your personal income tax yourself.
If it is your first year of self-employment, you may still get a simplified return. This is because in previous years, the tax authorities considered your personal income tax to be relatively simple and did not yet take into account the fact that you have started a self-employed activity. Consequently, they send you a simplified return, but that can therefore never be correct as a self-employed person!🚨
It’s up to you to add the details from your self-employed activitiesvia Tax-on-web. Piece of cake for a Dexxter user, as you can easily find these in the ‘personal income tax’ module. All other elements from your proposal simplified return are of course retained! You can simply add the data relating to your self-employed activities.
Once you have added data from your self-employed activities for the first time, you will no longer receive a simplified declaration proposal for the next year. 📝
