Just to be clear on transferring Direct Debits to Wise. Like others I have my Spanish utilities, Council taxes, Residence Community charges and Car tax on Direct Debits.

Hi

On the back of this thread I have been reviewing my Direct Debits that were set up by my Spanish Solicitor when i bought the house. I have Four  D/Debits for "Ayuntamiento de Fuengirola" . These Direct Debits do not identify the specific reason for each. Plus recognisable D/debits for Water, Electricvity and Residence Community Charge.

 Also I was looking for a D/Debit for vehicle Road Tax payments (I am sure I set one up). I couldnt find anything that I could relate to road/vehicle tax.

So here is the idiot question that I am sure you expats will have the answers.

1. House: How many seperate "town hall" taxes and associated D/Debits would you expect to have? What are each of them for? What is the usual Payment plan/ (eg Monthly, Quarterly etc.

2. Car. Is the Car Tax collected by the town Hall (ie is one of my Ayuntamiento de Fuengirola payments?). If its not collected by Town Hall how and where does it get paid? What is the typical Road Tax charge and frequency (Annual? Six Monthly?) My Car is a 2007 Suzuki Grand Vitara if that helps. It is ITV'd every year and Roaqd Tax has never come up and I have not received any Tax Demands.

Sorry for asking such "Noddy" questions but it was all set up 10 years ago and I have "lost the plot"!

Regards  to all

I have three direct debits with mijas la cala council.

1 Basura (rubbish)

2 car tax

3 council tax

If you get your receipts it should tell you what each direct debit is for.

I get my council to forward my receipts attached to an email.

The council won't send the receipt until after the time you can recall the DD back.

If you ask the council they will tell you what each DD is for. They have a foreigners department with people that speak good English.

Here are some screenshots from my three council charges receipts which state what the charge was for.

Together with screenshot from my bank account showing the three DDs being paid but no useful description regarding what they were for.

I suggest you need to contact your council directly, ask for copies of your receipts if you don't have them and to explain what the charges are for if it is not clear on the receipts.

Useful contact numbers for Mijas Council
