Setting up a direct debit for your regular payments brings added security and peace of mind, as well as saving you time. Bills will always be paid on time, you will know the date payment will be taken in advance, you won’t need to make a trip to your bank, and security is guaranteed.
The financial institutions where Barcelona City Council bills are to be paid by direct debit must be authorised to operate in countries where SEPA regulations are mandatory: The European Union (including Monaco and San Marino), Andorra, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland.
This procedure allows you to request annulment or express disagreement with regard to a municipal tax or public-sector charge, either during the voluntary payment period or when a claim is made during the enforcement period (with additional charges and interest).
It should be borne in mind that the lodging of an appeal does not suspend the payment deadline or the collection procedure, unless a guarantee is presented to ensure payment of the debt.
