Direct debit of payment

Taxpayers may make a direct debit of the tax debt resulting from the declaration of IRPF , either of its total amount or, if they opt for the 60/40 split, of one of the fractions or both. In the latter case, if you chose direct debit as the payment method, you must take into account that the direct debit of the second installment or fraction must be made in the same entity and account in which the first installment was direct debited.

The direct debit must be made at a credit institution that acts as a collaborator in the collection management (bank, savings bank or credit cooperative) located in Spanish territory in which the account to which the payment is domiciled is open in your name, subject to the following requirements and conditions. It may also be made at a non-collaborating credit institution belonging to the Single Euro Payments Area (SEPA Area) .

Note: Taxpayers whose tax return is due for payment may make the direct debit payment to a non-collaborating entity belonging to the Single Euro Payments Area (SEPA).

See in this regard Order HFP /387/2023, of April 18, which modifies Order EHA /1658/2009, of June 12, which establishes the procedure and conditions for the direct debit of payment of certain debts through credit institutions that provide the service of collaboration in the collection management of the State Tax Administration Agency.

Which taxpayers can opt for direct debit?

  1. Those who electronically submit the IRPF declaration.

  2.  Those whose self-assessment is carried out through the assistance services provided in the offices of the AEAT , in the offices of the tax administrations of the Autonomous Communities and Cities with Statute of Autonomy that have signed with the AEAT a collaboration agreement for the implementation of single tax window systems, and in those enabled for this purpose by the remaining Autonomous Communities, Cities with Statute of Autonomy and Local Entities for their immediate electronic transmission. 

  3. Those who confirm the draft declaration of IRPF by electronic means, over the Internet or by telephone or in the offices mentioned above.
