“Are you going to renew your residence and work permit? Stay, this interests you,” says Toni Musalev, lawyer specialized in immigration law and criminal law and disseminating about his profession through social networks, in a recent publication on his profile TikTok, @toni.abogado, where he has around 950 followers.
“In this video,” the lawyer continues, “we are going to talk about a very specific topic and it is about the Tax Agency.” The lawyer suggests: “Will you tell me: ‘What relationship does immigration have’” with the Tax Agency? “Well, it is very important,” says the lawyer. “Why? Because we when we renew a residence permitregardless of the fact that the requirements appear to make no special reference to the fact that we have to be up to date with our tax obligations, we do have to be.”
“Why?”, the immigration expert proceeds to explain. ”Because when we make the request, what the Immigration Department is going to do is ask different public organizations, including the Tax Agency, to find out if we are up to date with our tax obligations“This is the case both for the application for renewal of a residence permit and for the application for a work permit.
It is important, due to this, to be up to date, as the lawyer clarifies: “Sometimes it happens that, for example, we have stopped paying (I say this as a very simple example) twenty euros, because this will happen that they are going to require us”, and that is, according to the lawyer specialized in immigration law and criminal law, “when there may be a problem, because when they require us we have ten business days to remedy this entire situation.”
That is, it will have to be paid any day in the next ten business days, counting only from Monday to Friday. It will be necessary, explains the lawyer, “to pay the debt with the Tax Agency, request an updated certificate and present it” in Immigration.
The best thing will be, if there is a hitherto unknown debt, to carry out these procedures as soon as possible once said request has been received, since, as Toni Musalev warns, “there we run the risk of not having time to present that certificate.” The lawyer who is an expert in immigration procedures gives a very clear recommendation to avoid any problem when facing these procedures: “I always, always recommendbefore proceeding to apply a renewal of your residence permit, check very carefully, through certain certificates that can be downloaded from the Tax Agency websiteif we are up to date with the payment of our obligations. If you have questions about this, contact me”, concludes Toni. These certificates can be downloaded from the Tax Agency’s web portal, specifically in the section Tax Situation, in Certificatessection that is accessed from the start menu, selecting the “All procedures” option. It will be necessary to identify yourself to access the application, either through Cl@ve Móvil (previously Cl@ve Pin) or using an electronic certificate or DNI.
