The structure of the Tax Agency is divided into Central Services and Regional Services.

The Central Services are based in an organisation model of functional operational areas and support areas.

The Territorial Services , as of December 31, 2021, were made up of 17 Special Delegations - one for each Autonomous Community - and 39 Delegations, which include 190 Administrations and 29 Customs and Excise Administrations. In addition, two Comprehensive Digital Assistance Administrations (ADI) have been created this year.

In the year 2006 the Central Delegation for Large Taxpayers was created, a body with powers throughout the national territory, with functions of co-ordination and improvement of the assistance and the service of large taxpayers.

In addition, the Tax Agency forms part of and presides over collegiate bodies of coordination of the transferred taxes established in Act nº 22/2009 of 18 December: the Higher Council for Tax Coordination and Management (a collegiate body formed by representatives of the Tax Administration of the State and of the Autonomous Community regions and Cities with Statutes of Autonomy), and the Regional Councils for Tax Management and Coordination (collegiate bodies formed by representatives of the Tax Authorities of the State and of the Autonomous Community region or City with its respective Statute of Autonomy).
