I have received a letter from Agencia Tributaria and I do not know what it says - what should I do?
Have you received a letter from the Spanish tax authorities and you do not know what it says?
Does it look like the picture below?
In that case, it refers to a proposal for a late payment fee regarding a late submission of a declaration.
If the letter does not look like below, feel free to send us a photo to info@taxadora.com and we will help you.
Continue reading below the picture of what you need to do.
Do not worry. These letters are quite common and of course it is not fun with a late payment fee, but as long as you pay within a reasonable time, no one will seize your house or bank account.
The size of the delay fee depends on a) how late you are with your declaration, b) if you pay the delay fee on time.
The proposed amount is under “Recargo reducido” which will be your fee if you do not dispute fees and pay it on time.
Along with this page, you have probably received a number of pages with complicated legal texts. The page that is important is the one that looks like the following:
You normally have 10 or 15 banking days to respond to the proposed fee. You have the opportunity to accept or dispute. Most of our customers who received this letter have received it because they simply failed to pay their taxes, sometimes for several years in a row. It is thus wise in 99% of cases to accept the proposal for a fee, which results in a reduction in the fee.
Please follow the below steps on how to proceed, you will need some focus and patience but it usually only takes a few minutes to do it.
1. You do this by filling in your name, NIE number, date and tick “Que, estando de acuerdo …” according to the picture above where we put out the star.
You then need to sign with your signature, place and date, which you can either do on the same page as above or on page where there is usually a line for signature.
2. Take a photo of the signed document and save it on your computer.
