Payments to the Spanish Tax Authorities (AEAT) are subject to specific banking and payment requirements.

In many cases, payments must be processed through a bank that collaborates with the Spanish Tax Authorities (AEAT), and certain online payment methods may also require a Spanish digital certificate.

If you are unable to make the payment directly, hellotax may be able to facilitate the payment on your behalf.

🏦 Paying Spanish VAT Through hellotax

For regular Spanish VAT return payments, hellotax can facilitate the payment where applicable.

1. Check the VAT Amount Due

Log in to your hellotax account and check the amount of VAT payable for the relevant Spanish VAT return.

2. Transfer the VAT Amount to hellotax

Transfer the amount due to the following Spanish hellotax bank account:

Bank: Banco Santander
Bank address: Calle Virgen Del Pilar Nº 43, Mutxamel 03110, Spain
IBAN: ES40 0049 3539 7121 1402 6282
BIC/SWIFT: BSCHESMMXXX

When making the transfer, please ensure that the payment can be clearly identified and allocated to your account and VAT obligation.

Please allow sufficient time for the funds to reach hellotax before the applicable payment deadline.

3. hellotax Forwards the Payment

Once the funds have been received and correctly allocated, hellotax forwards the VAT payment to the Spanish Tax Authorities.

📩 Paying Amounts Requested by the Spanish Tax Authorities

If you receive a Spanish tax notification requesting payment — for example, a penalty, surcharge, interest or other outstanding amount — the payment instructions may differ from those used for a regular VAT return.

The notification will normally specify:

• the amount payable
• the payment deadline
• the relevant payment reference
• instructions for making the payment

Payment Options

Depending on the notification, you may be able to:

Pay the Spanish Tax Authorities directly

Follow the payment instructions provided in the official notification.

Arrange payment through hellotax

Where supported, hellotax can facilitate the payment on your behalf. This can be particularly helpful where you do not have access to a suitable Spanish bank account or the required payment method.

⚠️ Important

Always check the payment deadline shown in your VAT information or Spanish tax notification.

Late payments may result in additional surcharges, interest or penalties.

If you are transferring funds to hellotax, please ensure that they are sent sufficiently in advance of the deadline. hellotax must receive and allocate the funds before they can be forwarded to the Spanish Tax Authorities.

For payments relating to an official tax notification, do not automatically transfer the amount to the regular VAT payment account without first checking the payment instructions. Different payment procedures or references may apply.
