1. Which taxes can I pay be direct debit?
Any tax due every year can be paid by direct debit once you are registered as a taxpayer. For example, tax on immovable property, tax on business activity, vehicle tax, tax for rubbish collection, etc.
2. If, for any reason, BASE-Gestió d’Ingressos does not process my direct debit, do I have to pay a surcharge?
If the order for a direct debit, within the corresponding time limit and at the established financial institutions, can be demonstrated, and this has not been processed, no surcharge or interest will be due.
There will be a surcharge, however, if the payment has not been made because of cancellation of the direct debit. This surcharge is payable when two consecutive payments have not been paid or when the bank returns the bill unpaid because the number of the account is wrong or the client has cancelled the order to pay.
3. What happens if I arrange a direct debit after the deadline?
In this case, the direct debit will be effective for the following year.
4. Can I pay my tax bill by direct debit from a bank which is not a collaborating financial institution of BASE-Gestió d’Ingressos?
Yes, you can pay your taxes by direct debit from any Spanish bank or savings bank.
5. Can I cancel the order or modify the number of a bank account where I have a direct debit to pay my tax?
Yes, you can cancel payment of a tax by direct debit or change the bank details at any time, by filling in the appropriate form.
6. Can I make an order to pay an enforced tax payment by direct debit?
No, enforced payments cannot be paid by direct debit. However, payment of the same tax can be made by direct debit in following tax periods. To do this, the corresponding order must be taken to a BASE-Gestió d’Ingressos office.
7. A tax I pay by direct debit appears as pending. What has happened?
In general, direct debits are claimed around fifteen days before the deadline for payment. If the debt appears as pending it is probable that the tax bill has been returned unpaid by the bank.
8. If I make changes to a direct debit, when do they come into effect?
If the modification has been made within the time when direct debits can be made, according to the tax calendar approved by the council, the effect of the change will be immediate. If not, the change will be applied in the following tax year.
