The financial management of a business is a critical factor for the success of business projects. One of the indicators that a company can provide to demonstrate its financial solvency is to be up to date with its obligations, both with the Treasury and with Social Security.

Obtaining a certificate of being up to date with payments is simple. And if some digital identification method is available, it can be immediate and without leaving home.

What does the certificate imply?

It is a tax certificate that provides a clear view of whether the taxpayer complies with his tax obligations. Issued by the Tax Agency, it can yield positive or negative results.

A positive result certifies that the individual or company is up to date with its tax obligations, while a negative result may be due to outstanding debts and/or failure to file returns.

How to request it?

The application can be made electronically or in person.

• In the case of an in-person application, it is imperative to make an appointment and present the certificate application form 01 or the contractor and subcontractor certificate application form 01C, depending on the type of certificate required.
• If the application is online, identification via electronic certificate, DNI or Cl@ve PIN is required. Obtaining it is simple: you only need to access the headquarters of the Tax agency and process it.

Effects and validity of the tax certificate

It is crucial to understand that a tax certificate is for informational purposes and is not subject to direct appeals. However, there is the possibility of expressing disagreement with the data within a maximum period of ten days.

The validity of the certificate is 6 months, unless the specific regulations or obligations are non-periodic, in which case the validity period is reduced to 3 months.

When are these types of certificates needed?

The request for this certificate is common when accessing aid and subsidies, when signing agreements with suppliers, when participating in contests or tenders, and when carrying out transfers, liquidations or dissolutions of companies. In each of these cases, the certificate of being up to date with the Tax Agency becomes an essential support that reflects the financial and fiscal stability of the business.

In summary, being up to date with tax obligations is a basic business obligation and obtaining a certificate of being up to date with payments with the Treasury is an intelligent strategy to strengthen confidence in the business environment.

Staying up to date is not only a legal responsibility, but also a powerful tool to open doors, build strong partnerships, and ensure sustainable business growth.
