Hacienda Statement on the Income Tax Return: this changes everything

Starting April 2, you'll be able to pay your Income Tax Return in the simplest way you can imagine

The Agencia Tributaria has announced a significant development for the 2025 Income Tax Return. From this year on, taxpayers will be able to pay their taxes using Bizum.

This measure aims to facilitate the payment process. It does so by offering a more convenient option adapted to the current technologies we use.

Hacienda helps taxpayers: the most convenient option to pay the Income Tax

Bizum is a very popular instant payment application in Spain for many years. It allows money to be transferred quickly and securely between bank accounts, using only the mobile phone number.

By incorporating Bizum as a payment method for the Income Tax Return, Hacienda aims to simplify the process. It does so by avoiding the need for taxpayers to enter complex bank details or carry out in-person procedures.

Other ways to pay the Income Tax Return in 2025: take note

In addition to Bizum, the Agencia Tributaria has expanded payment options to meet the needs of taxpayers. Starting in 2025, it will also be possible to pay the Income Tax Return using credit or debit cards. This option is ideal for those who prefer to use their regular bank cards to manage their payments.

Of course, traditional payment methods, such as direct debit, are still available. This allows authorization of the charge directly to the taxpayer's account, and cash deposits at collaborating entities. These options remain available for those who prefer more conventional methods.

Important considerations from the Agencia Tributaria: don't lose sight of them

It is essential to keep in mind that, although Bizum facilitates the payment process, Hacienda maintains control over transactions through this platform. Transfers exceeding 10,000 euros per year must be declared to the Agencia Tributaria. Failure to do so can result in significant penalties.

Overall, the incorporation of Bizum and bank cards as payment methods for the Income Tax Return is a clear advancement. These new options aim to make the process more convenient and accessible for all taxpayers. They do so by adapting to current technological trends and facilitating compliance with tax obligations.
