In fact, in the middle of July 2026, the summer campaign of in-person and digital inspections was launched. The big news this year isn&#8217;t the traditional surprise visits to businesses, but the rollout of the new <strong>2026 Tax Agency controls<\/strong> on automated payment flows: corporate Bizum, payment gateways, and point-of-sale (POS) terminals. \u2600\ufe0f   <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At <strong>Ruiz &amp; Associates<\/strong> we analyze what the tax authorities are looking for this summer and how to protect your business&#8217;s accounting to avoid automated requests when you return from vacation.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud83d\udcb3 The end of anonymity in digital payments and Bizum<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Financial transparency regulations have taken a significant leap forward. The tax authorities no longer depend on banks reporting suspicious transactions at the end of the year; they now have direct access to the records of instant payment platforms. Self-employed individuals and companies that regularly use Bizum or similar platforms as a payment method are under scrutiny. \ud83d\udcf2<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The most common mistake is failing to properly link these quick incomes to their corresponding issued invoices. In this scenario, the <a href=\"https:\/\/ruizyasociados.es\/en\/2026\/05\/15\/legal-news\/ia-and-taxation-as-algorithms-finance-analyze-companies-2026\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"3340\">tax authority&#8217;s algorithmic audit<\/a> immediately detects the discrepancy between bank account transactions and the income declared in the quarterly VAT return, which is due this coming Monday, July 20th. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud83c\udf10 E-commerce and the new transparency directives<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your company sells products or services online, the changes to <strong>tax controls in 2026<\/strong> directly affect you. E-commerce and service intermediary platforms already report under a standard of full transparency, cross-referencing data at the European level. \ud83c\uddea\ud83c\uddfa  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Inspectors are actively looking for three discrepancies:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Cross-sales not declared in Community VAT.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Payment gateways (such as Stripe or PayPal) whose balances are not reflected daily in the company&#8217;s official accounts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lack of integration of these sales channels with <a href=\"https:\/\/ruizyasociados.es\/en\/2026\/06\/12\/business-management\/mandatory-electronic-invoice-5-keys-to-comply-with-the-regulations-in-2026\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"3356\">mandatory electronic invoicing<\/a> systems.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The technical solution requires the use of professional management software such as <a href=\"https:\/\/holded.es\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Holded<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/contasol.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ContaSol<\/a> to unify all sources of income in a single approved digital record book.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can consult the information notes on the control of digital activities on the official portal of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.agenciatributaria.es\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Tax Agency<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud83d\udee1\ufe0f What to do in the event of a summer discrepancy?<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Proactivity remains the most effective shield for business owners. If, during this quarter&#8217;s tax preparation, you discover that you have failed to record digital payments from previous months, the current regulatory framework offers a safeguard. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By invoking the <a href=\"https:\/\/ruizyasociados.es\/en\/2026\/05\/22\/treasury\/right-to-error-5-keys-to-protect-your-company\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"3343\">right to make a mistake<\/a>, it&#8217;s possible to submit a voluntary regularization before receiving notification from the Spanish Tax Agency (AEAT). This avoids the opening of penalty proceedings and demonstrates the company&#8217;s good faith in the contract with the Administration. The key, as always, is to get ahead of the algorithm. \u2705<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud83c\udfe2 Rigor and summer tranquility with Ruiz &amp; Asociados<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At Ruiz &amp; Associates, we have over 30 years of experience protecting businesses against the most demanding regulatory changes. <strong>Tax audits in 2026<\/strong> shouldn&#8217;t be a cause for concern if your accounting structure is well-designed and overseen by experts. \ud83e\udd1d <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nuestro equipo t\u00e9cnico aprovecha estas semanas de julio para auditar la correlaci\u00f3n entre sus TPV, cuentas digitales y libros fiscales, garantizando un verano tranquilo y un cumplimiento normativo impecable.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Do you sell online or collect payments through digital platforms and want to secure your quarterly tax return?<\/strong> At <a href=\"https:\/\/ruizyasociados.es\/en\/about-us\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"113\">Ruiz &amp; Associates<\/a>, we safeguard your tax peace of mind. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/ruizyasociados.es\/en\/contact\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"110\">Contact our firm today<\/a><\/strong> and leave the oversight of your assets in the hands of established experts. \ud83d\ude80<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Summer is here, but the Tax Agency&#8217;s inspection machinery doesn&#8217;t take a break.
