General information regarding online filing
Considering that the necessary technical security conditions currently exist and that the basic legal framework exists for the use of the Internet and the electronic signature, telematic transmission through the Internet has been developed, thus opening the range of possibilities for compliance with the tax obligations derived from foreign trade operations and special taxes, as a continuation of the path undertaken by the AEAT to facilitate and streamline taxpayers' obligations.
Manual submission of Tax Returns
Selecting TELEMATIC PRESENTATION WITH IMPORT OF FILES EDIFACT from any of the declarations that can be presented in EDIFACT format, a menu opens with four options, the The first two enable, respectively, the sending of a single declaration, or the execution of a repetitive process of sending several EDIFACT generated by the user's EDI station. The third option allows the user to consult all submissions s/he has made, and the fourth allows the user to consult error codes returned by the system.
The procedure for submitting tax returns is as follows:
- Select TELEMATIC PRESENTATION WITH FILE IMPORT EDIFACT
- Select between INDIVIDUAL PRESENTATION and BATCH PRESENTATION.
- Select the file or directory that contains the declaration(s) to be filed.
- Select a valid user certificate granted by one of the Certification Authorities in accordance with Order HAC/1181/2003, previously installed in the browser to generate the signature. File the declaration(s) with digital signature with the State Tax Administration Agency.
Integration with Tax Return elaboration programs.
The declaration submission option described in the previous point involves manual intervention by a user, so that the Internet transmission of a Customs declaration and II.EE. involves two independent steps:
- Step 1: preparation of the declaration in the user's own application, finally generating a file EDIFACT .
- Step 2: manual connection via Internet to the AEAT website, selection of the corresponding option, signing of the declaration and sending.
The SPANISH TAX AGENCY has set up a Web Service for filing customs declarations online. The interface for using the Service from a declaration preparation application is described in the document Customs Declarations WEB Service and II.EE.
ADEDINET: Component for WIN32 platforms
Although the interface and example information mentioned in the previous point should serve to integrate the applications in use with the new Service, the AEAT has developed a COM (Component Object Model) type component that can be used on WIN32 platforms. The component can be downloaded automatically by running the Browser Configuration program for procedures in the Electronic Office (Internet Explorer).
In addition to the component, this program installs the libraries and root certificates necessary for correct use of the Web Service and the ELECTRONIC OFFICE
If you wish to install only the ADEDINET component, you can do so at this address: https://www2.agenciatributaria.gob.es/ADUA/internet/adedinet.htm.
If you want to check the correct installation of the ADEDINET component within your local environment (Personal Computer), at the address: https://www2.agenciatributaria.gob.es/ADUA/internet/adediok.htm you can run a simple Declaration preparation application, which sends a test edifact file. Those companies that wish to do so can use it as a module that, invoked from their Declaration preparation application, automatically sends it to the AEAT computer If desired, the source code of the component can be requested ADEDINET at the address atenusu@correo.aeat.es
