Payment of self-assessments.Obtaining an NRC

Tax returns and self-assessments required by tax regulations that result in a payment due, and for which direct debit has not been selected as a form of payment, need an NRC (Complete Reference Number) to be correctly received by the Tax Agency:a 22-character code generated to identify the tax payment made.

The e-Office offers the possibility of obtaining an NRC through its payment gateway via payment on account or with a card.

Para realizar el pago es necesario disponer de certificado o DNI electrónico o estar registrado en el sistema de identificación Cl@ve PIN.

Another requirement is to have funds deposited in financial institutions established as tax collection Collaborators, which offer their customers the online payment service.You can consult the list of Banking Institutions that are part of this collaboration agreement, depending on the payment method selected (payment on account or card), under the link “See member banks and service timetables”.

Tax payment is currently not allowed via this route for pooled accounts. Este tipo de cuentas han de obtener el NRC directamente en la EEFF.

Cómo realizar el pago de autoliquidaciones mediante cargo en cuenta

  1. Una vez confeccionada la declaración con resultado a ingresar que deseas presentar electrónicamente, y conocido por tanto el importe de la deuda, accede a la opción de pago "Autoliquidaciones" del apartado "Pagar, aplazar y consultar deudas" de nuestra Sede Electrónica y elige la forma de pago mediante cargo en cuenta. Identifícate con certificado, DNIe o Cl@ve PIN.

    Otra alternativa para obtener el NRC es enlazar con la pasarela de pago utilizando el botón "Realizar pago (Obtener NRC)" que se habilitará en el formulario para la presentación de la declaración al seleccionar la forma de pago que suponga un ingreso, ya sea parcial o total.

  2. Select the form, the identification and economic data.When paying by direct debit, you must provide the IBAN code where the charge will be made. Después, pulsa "Aceptar datos y Continuar". Es posible que te ofrezcamos la posibilidad de efectuar el pago en una cuenta que ya hayas utilizado en otro momento, mostrando los últimos dígitos de la misma y no será necesario consignar el IBAN completo sino únicamente marcar la casilla correspondiente.

    OK, sign and send

  5. If everything is correct, you will see the allocated NRC on the screen.It is a 22-character code generated as proof of payment for online tax return filings.You will have 2 options on this page:

    • 'Print Payment Receipt':this will show you the receipt for the payment on account with a summary of the payment details.

    • 'File Tax Return':this option links you to the e-Office procedure for which the NRC was obtained, so that you can finish the filing process.

Remember that if you do not have an electronic certificate, electronic DNI or Cl@ve PIN, you have other options for obtaining an NRC:

  • By going to a branch of your bank, and providing the details of the self-assessment.It is not necessary to provide a form, simply the details that are used to generate the NRC (complete reference number), which are the same ones required to make a payment (form, year, period, taxpayer NIF, surname and exact amount of the payment).

  • Through the online banking service if the Bank offers this option.

If you are making the payment on behalf of another person, bear in mind that to get an NRC through the Tax Agency payment gateway, the certificate holder and the account holder must coincide as payment originators, but the NIF provided to the Collaborating Entity to get the NRC will always be that of the taxpayer.
