Background

What is the Agencia Tributaria?

The Agencia Tributaria (commonly called Hacienda) is Spain's tax authority. They handle income tax (IRPF), VAT (IVA), property taxes, and the dreaded Modelo 720 for foreign assets. Spain has over 5 million foreign residents, and all official correspondence is in Spanish — or Catalan, Basque, or Galician depending on the region.

Common Letter Types

What's in your envelope?

Declaración de la Renta (IRPF)

Your annual income tax return result. Shows what you owe or what's refunded. Filing period is April–June.

Modelo 720 — Foreign Assets

Declaration of foreign assets over €50,000. Severe penalties for non-compliance or late filing. Deadline: March 31.

Notificación de Embargo

Asset seizure notice for unpaid taxes. This is serious — your bank account can be frozen. Respond immediately.

Alta en Seguridad Social

Social security registration confirmation. Keep this for your records — you'll need the number for healthcare and employment.

Hacienda doesn't wait

Spain is known for aggressive tax enforcement, especially regarding foreign residents. The Modelo 720 foreign asset declaration has led to massive fines for expats who didn't know about it. Hacienda letters often arrive as certified mail (burofax) with very short response windows. If you're a digital nomad, retiree, or remote worker in Spain — these letters are not optional reading.
