ATIB expands payment options and allows taxes to be paid via POS terminal

PalmThe Balearic Islands Tax Agency (ATIB) has expanded its payment options and now allows the payment of regional and local taxes via point-of-sale (POS) terminals, as reported by the Ministry of Economy, Finance, and Innovation. This new method allows taxpayers to make secure payments through an electronic system similar to the card readers used in stores, but integrated into the online tax filing system. The Ministry emphasizes that this measure represents another step towards a more efficient and accessible administration. POS terminal payments are in addition to the methods already available at ATIB, such as online payments via Bizum, bank transfers—including transactions from banks without agreements with the Balearic Islands or from foreign banks—and online payments via electronic banking or card. With this addition, the need to travel to a bank to make a payment and then return to ATIB with proof of payment is eliminated, as the entire process can be completed quickly and securely through digital channels. This initiative aligns with the Government's objective of facilitating citizens' interactions with the Administration, reducing bureaucracy, and optimizing taxpayers' time. Furthermore, it complements other measures implemented by ATIB, such as flexible tax payments, which allows taxpayers to choose the amount and payment time according to their individual needs.
