Revenue model

1. Tax collection and administration: As a government tax agency, the Agencia Tributaria does not generate commercial revenue.

It also manages tax refunds, debt collection, enforcement, and customs enforcement including anti-smuggling operations.

Core offering

The Agencia Estatal de la Administración Tributaria is the Spanish state tax administration agency that collects, administers, and enforces national taxes (IRPF personal income tax, IVA VAT, corporate tax, special taxes) and customs duties on behalf of the Spanish government. It delivers these services to all taxpayers — individuals, businesses, non-residents, and trade operators — through an electronic headquarters portal, a mobile app, local offices, and telephone support. The agency also runs customs enforcement and anti-smuggling operations via the Servicio de Vigilancia Aduanera (SVA) and provides electronic identification (Cl@ve), electronic invoicing compliance (SII, VERI*FACTU), and fraud prevention services.

Product overview

Agencia Estatal de Administración Tributaria operates a unified e-government platform providing comprehensive tax administration services to Spanish citizens and businesses. The core offering is the Sede Electrónica electronic headquarters portal, which integrates multiple service modules: tax declaration systems (IRPF, IVA, Corporate Tax, Special Taxes, Customs), electronic identification (Cl@ve, certificates, DNIe), real-time invoicing compliance (SII, VERI*FACTU, SIF), and administrative support tools (calculators, simulators, appointment scheduling). Services are accessible via web portal, mobile application (APP-AEAT), and in-person assistance. The platform serves as the primary channel for tax payments, refunds, notifications, and regulatory compliance across all Spanish taxation domains.
