The Agencia Tributaria de Andalucía has published the administrative procedure for managing the fiscal tax on gaming for the second quarter of 2026, establishing new requirements for operators in the autonomous region.
Census Publication and Tax Base Adjustments
The administration has released two key documents: the definitive census of authorised machines and collective notification of liquidations for type B and C machines. The census, which uses 1 April as the reference date for accrual, was finalised after considering claims submitted by gaming companies to ensure the tax base aligns with current operational reality.
The quarterly liquidations have been organised into single documents containing all authorisation fees for each company. Payment deadlines are set between 1 and 20 July 2026.
Electronic Processing Requirements
All consultation and document download procedures must be conducted electronically via the electronic headquarters of the Junta de Andalucía. This mandatory digital-first approach streamlines administrative processes for gaming operators, reflecting a broader trend seen across Spanish jurisdictions including Castilla-La Mancha's Q2 2026 gaming machine census.
Digital Transition Requirement
The mandatory electronic processing represents a complete shift from traditional paper-based submissions. Operators must ensure their administrative teams have proper digital credentials and system access before the July payment deadline to avoid compliance issues.
Compliance Framework Implications
This structured approach to gaming machine taxation demonstrates Andalucía's commitment to transparent regulatory oversight while accommodating operator feedback. The integration of industry input into the census finalisation process suggests a collaborative regulatory environment, though operators must adapt to the mandatory electronic processing requirements for all administrative interactions.
