The Income Tax Declaration Campaign (IRPF) is a crucial time for taxpayers in Spain, and in 2025 this process will be modernised with the introduction of new payment methods. From this year, taxpayers will be able to pay their taxes by bank card and Bizum, which promises to make the process more convenient and efficient. This important development was announced by Soledad Fernández, Director General of the Tax Agency, during the opening of the XXXIV Congress of State Tax Inspectors. Although the exact date of entry into force of this measure has not yet been
confirmed, the Tax Agency is working to have it operational for the next income tax campaign.
Historically, personal income tax payments were mainly made by direct debit or bank transfer, methods that can be cumbersome and require several steps. By accepting card payments and Bizum, the Tax Agency aims to simplify the process and allow citizens to make their payments instantly and securely from their mobile devices, responding to the demands of an increasingly digitalised society looking for practical and efficient solutions to manage their finances. With these improvements, the Tax Agency is not only facilitating tax compliance, but also promoting a more fluid and accessible relationship between the state and citizens.
The inclusion of payment methods such as bank card and Bizum in the IRPF 2025 campaign represents a significant step forward in the modernisation of tax administration in Spain. This initiative will not only make the filing process more accessible, but also reflects a commitment to innovation and adaptation to taxpayers; needs.
We look forward to hearing more about this exciting new development.
