The average Spanish taxpayer will have to work 231 days this year to fulfill their tax obligations, until August 20th, which is almost two months more than in 2019. According to a report by the Centro de Análisis de la Sostenibilidad del Modelo Económico (CASME) of the Fundación Civismo, this represents an increase of 53 days in just seven years.
The tax burden has been rising steadily, with tax revenues managed by the Agencia Estatal de Administración Tributaria (AEAT) increasing by 52.9% between 2019 and 2025, to €325.356 billion. The report also notes that the tax system has continued to increase its collection capacity through automatic mechanisms, such as the "progresividad fría" of the IRPF, and the normalization of VAT rates.
