An IBI charge, or Impuesto sobre Bienes Inmuebles, is a property tax in Spain. It is an annual tax that property owners pay to local municipalities, based on the cadastral value of their property. The money collected from IBI helps fund local services such as waste collection, road repairs, and urban infrastructure. The amount you pay depends on your property’s location and its assessed value.
IBI in Mazarrón, Spain
In Mazarrón, the typical deadline for paying the IBI property tax is around the first week of November. However, direct debit payments are usually deducted at the beginning of October. It’s very important to ensure there are enough funds in your bank account to cover this payment. Property owners should check with their local council for their exact due date to avoid penalties or late fees.
*Note: Payment deadlines for IBI can vary quite a bit across different regions and municipalities in Spain. If you own property elsewhere, be sure to check with your local authorities or official notices to confirm your specific deadlines.
Stay on Top of Your IBI Payments
It’s essential to know the status of your IBI account with the local tax office. If you don’t have a direct debit set up, you need to make manual payments on time, before the regional deadline.
If your conveyancing agent has arranged a direct debit for you, avoid making manual payments when the bill arrives. Claiming back double payments can be complicated and time-consuming. Always check with your representative to confirm if this has been arranged for you or not.
Benefits of Setting Up a Direct Debit
Having your IBI paid via direct debit offers several advantages:
– You won’t miss the deadline, provided there are sufficient funds.
– In the Mazarrón region, you can receive a 5% discount on the bill when paying by direct debit. It is always worth checking with your local authority for these kind of benefits.
It’s a simple, win/win solution.
