Road Tax

[mikehoward]

Need some advice from car owners. We bought a car last March with an ITV of 2 years and auto renewal on the insurance so no issue with them. However, we won’t be out until end April this year so can’t renew the Road Tax until then. The car is at a long stay carpark so not on the road. Question is, how hot are the authorities on this renewal, if I’m a month late?. If they are I might have to consider coming out earlier.

Mine renewed automatically Mike, the money was taken out of the bank each year

I purchased a new car last year,I took all my car documents and bank details to the 1st floor of the Town Hall in Santa Pola.
I then set up a direct debit for the car tax to renew automatically.

I'm almost 100% certain that, unlike the UK, car tax is paid during the same period of time each year irrespective of the initial date of registration and has to be paid by something like 4 June. You should receive notification in the post sometime in April and you take that letter to one of the banks listed on it and pay the tax.

For the first two years that I had my car, I did not receive  a postal notification so went to the council office in the medical centre building and had one printed off. You can also go to the Suma office and get one which is worth doing if you are not going to be in GA until at least early May and might not get a postal notification.

If you don't pay by the due date (4 June?) you will be fined. This happened to both myself and a friend, although  we received the notification letter we simply forgot to pay. We went to the Suma office a week or so after the due date and were given an updated bill which included the fine, 4 or 5 euros I think, and the bill had to be paid into one of the specified banks that day otherwise an additional  fine would be incurred.

Alan, thanks for the detail, we are next out at the end of April so I'll get straight to the post boxes and get it sorted.

Hi, I bought a car last year and car tax is due, I don’t think the dealer set up a direct debit and in U.K. on lockdown so can’t pick up the reminder. Is there a way to pay online? I’ve tried the SUMA website with NIE and Car reg plate but it’s not recognising it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance 😎

So last year i did not receive my car tax bill by post. I went to the sums office in Santa Pola and was informed that the suma office does not collect for Santa Pola it is collected by the townhall. I went there and gave my reg number they printed the bill and payed by card at the adjacent desk.  Mine is also due so if i get it sorted i will post an update.

Have you tried here? https://www.suma.es/PortalWeb/localizadores/cuerpo_tramites_cargo_cuenta.xhtml
Due to Covid 19, they have extended payment until 15th June

If your car tax is payable to Santa Pola as in my previous post it is not collected by the suma office but by the town hall directly. I have been in touch with them but i need this years bill to pay it online. This is the latest reply i received.    Hello again Heber,
We are informed that due to the state of alarm the payment of this tax is suspended. The fiscal calendar is scheduled to be updated with new dates. As soon as it is, we will inform in this page.

Brilliant thank you for the info

Hi,
Another year on and due to COVID/Flight cancellations I haven't been able to pick up the renewal details and pay the Road Tax (Mechanical Traction Vehicle Tax). When I do get out I'll set up a D.Debit but in the meantime some advice please:
I assume I'll need to contact SUMA again to pay, but they only get them from Santa Pola after the expiry date, when fines are due. When is the expiry date and anyone got the details on how to get the bill. I've searched the site but cannot find the information that was on there last year.
Thanks

Mike,
I emailed the following to SUMA:

Estimado señor / señora,

Como consecuencia de Covid 19 no he podido viajar a España desde Inglaterra y por lo tanto no he podido pagar el impuesto al Ayuntamiento por mi coche. ¿Puedo utilizar Internet para pagar el impuesto en línea?  Si es posible, ¿podría darme la información que necesito para poder pagar?

Mis datos son:

Here I put my name, NIE and car registration

I sent the email on a Friday and received an response the following  Monday with payment details. I paid using a UK credit or debit card, can't remember which, and received a receipt.

The email address I sent to was:
