Paying car tax

Cars in Spain must be taxed from 1st January to 31st December each year, so the bit of tax that you inherited will have expired 31/12. The tax is due at different times in different towns, so you should ask at Torre Pacheco Ayuntamiento when it is due, and it is best to get them to set up a Direct Debit so it will happen when it should. There are fines for late or non-payment, much more that the cost of the tax.

The  car tax is payable by whoever owns the car in January. The bill should  come in the next week or so if the car was registered to you back in September. When it comes you can pay online or at a cash machine with the bar code. Then you can set up a direct debit but you need the bill first.  As we live in the same village am assuming it will come the same time as mine. The fine for late payment is not that much 10 or 20 euros. I'll let you know when mine arrives. Usually comes early March. 

Thank you as usual you’re a ⭐️ 

Torre Pacheco bills aren't sent out until late March/April if you have a digital certificate you can change to a direct debit on the Ayuntamiento website

Wish i could, but trying to get a Digital Certificate is like trying to find Hen's teeth!

Either wrong browser, restricted access, etc. Thought I was onto a winner using my mobile phone on Cl@ve yesterday - got as far as inputting all of my details and got error message 'NIE - Restricted Access'

It's definitely not easy trying to go digital in Spain!

You have to go in person to the town hall to set it up

Thank you l feel your pain 😂 we had this trying to book a slot to use our municipal pool last year by the time it went through they’d closed & drained the pool 😡.
