Customs Surveillance Operational Planning and Strategy

In accordance with Law 58/2003, of December 17, General Tax Law, in its article 116, Tax Control Plan, the Tax Administration will annually prepare a Tax Control Plan that will be confidential, although this will not prevent the general criteria that inform it from being made public through the Official State Gazette. Through this Tax Control Plan, the different Annual Objective Plans that each of the Departments that make up the Tax Agency must comply with will be established.

As for the operational strategy, it covers 4 major areas:

  • Tobacco smuggling.
  • Commercial traffic analysis and research.
  • Maritime control: surveillance, intelligence and investigation.
  • Patrimonial and economic analysis and research.
