Suma Gestión Tributaria has reported a total collection of 558.45 million euros from the Impuesto de Bienes Inmuebles (IBI) and the Impuesto de Actividades Económicas (IAE) during the second voluntary tax payment period of 2026. This figure represents an increase of 13.8 million euros, or 2.53%, compared to the previous year.
The data, presented at the Suma Board of Directors meeting, highlights a high collection success rate of 92.74% during this crucial payment period, which is significant for municipalities due to the volume of income generated.
Toni Pérez, President of the Diputación de Alicante, emphasised the continuous improvement of the organisation, attributing this success to the dedication of a committed workforce serving the public.
José Antonio Belso, Director of Suma, noted that the organisation is progressing in its citizen services while remaining a strategic ally to the municipalities in tax management, ensuring liquidity and economic health for essential services.
Donation and reuse of IT equipment
Additionally, the Board approved the donation of 200 IT devices from Suma for reuse in municipalities, educational centres, or local entities. This equipment, which has been refurbished, will be available for municipalities to request through Suma offices. This initiative aligns with Suma's sustainability policy and aims to reduce carbon footprints by participating in the circular economy.
Belso explained that this effort promotes the reuse of resources that have already been amortised, leading to savings and improvements for the municipalities and organisations involved.
Agreement to enhance efficiency
Suma has also approved joining a convention with the Agencia Estatal de Administración Digital, the Ministry for Digital Transformation and Public Function, and the Generalitat Valenciana. This agreement aims to enhance efficiency, reduce bureaucracy, and improve citizen services through access to common technological solutions for electronic administration.
The Diputación Provincial de Alicante has been part of this agreement since June 2026, and Suma's inclusion ensures institutional and technological coherence as an autonomous entity. This initiative will strengthen the digitalisation of tax procedures, improve administrative interoperability, and promote a more efficient, accessible, and coordinated public management without any financial cost to Suma or the provincial institution.
