Our tax adviser split the payment, ½ immediately and ½ in November by direct debit. She didn't ask first and we preferred to pay the full amount straight away so we did. They're now chasing us for non-payment of the November payment
We've now managed to get through to a national number by phone but despite having an English speaker, must be in Madrid, they can do little more than give out telephone numbers. We've managed to establish that the local offices are only open until 2 or 2.30 and they also said we may need an appointment but with only 9 working days till we leave and lots of other things to do we need to see someone straight away.
It's enough to make you want to be dishonest, the tax avoiders certainly seem to have a less stressful life
Sorry, Beachcomber, you were replying as I was typing. Thanks.
You wouldn't happen to know if you can go to any AEAT office would you? Our local one is Huercal Overa, 30 minutes away but the letter we've received is from Almeria, 1 hour and impossible to park. Last time we went there (to traffico) we parked outside the city and got a taxi in, more expense
