Article 116 of the General Tax Law establishes the obligation to draw up an annual tax control plan, which will be reserved without prejudice to the advertising of the general criteria that inform it. For its part, Article 170 of the General Rules of Procedure and the procedures for the management and inspection of taxes and for the development of common rules on procedures for the application of taxes provides that the control plan Tax shall be integrated by the plan or by the partial inspection plans, which shall have a reserved character and shall not be the subject of publicity or communication.

Moreover, Law 22/2009 of 18 December, regulating the system of financing of the Autonomous Communities of the common regime and cities with the Statute of Autonomy and amending certain tax rules, provides for the coordinated planning of the actions carried out by the various administrations on the taxes transferred.

The State Tax Administration Agency, hereinafter the Tax Agency, develops its actions through a General Plan of Tax Control, a fundamental instrument for planning the control actions. tax and customs of an organisation such as the Tax Office which works with specific objectives for each financial year. The General Plan is structured in the following sections:

(a) General Guidelines, in which the main areas of fiscal risk that require priority attention and the basic criteria for the development of the Plan are set out.

b) The Control Plans for each of the areas that carry out control tasks: Financial and Tax Inspection, Customs and Excise, Tax Management and Collection. The Parcial Plans define the criteria that govern the programming of actions of each area and its distribution between the different units and territorial areas.

(c) Rules for the integration of partial plans, including the provision of joint, successive or coordinated actions and how many are required to give unity to the control action of the tax office. The priority actions to be developed in collaboration with the autonomous tax administrations in the framework of the control of the taxes are also planned.

The challenges facing the Tax Agency for 2011 are framed in an economic and social context in which the economic crisis affecting the global economy and the Spanish economy, the phenomenon of globalization, is highlighted. The internationalisation of the Spanish economy and the rapid deployment of new technologies.

In our country, the fiscal consolidation policy, which is one of the pillars on which the measures for economic recovery, the fulfillment of the objectives, are based, is particularly relevant in this context. the reduction of the public deficit and the correction of the deterioration of public finances.

In order to meet these challenges, the tax administrations need approaches adapted to the current, open and strongly internationalized societies and this need pushes for the search for more effective formulas for the development of the role of legalizing the resources necessary for the maintenance of public expenditure, with the greatest efficiency, justice and simplicity, for which prevention and the fight against fraud are at the strategic line basic and priority of the tax office.

According to these challenges and context, the 2011 General Tax Control Plan contains the planning of preventive or ex-ante control and control actions in the strict sense, be it verification actions and General or specific research, in the strategic framework of the Fiscal Fraud Prevention Plan of 2005, updated in 2008, and the Comprehensive Plan for the Prevention and Correction of Fiscal, Labor and Security Fraud Social of 2010.

The main areas of risk and the basic criteria for the development of the General Tax Control Plan are grouped in three broad areas. The first of these are the actions of verification and investigation into tax fraud, among which the reinforcement of the actions on the sectors or activities in which there is a greater perception of the fraud, as it is, is important. the case of professionals or taxpayers with external signs of wealth that do not correspond to the declared income levels.

In the same way, actions aimed at combating the submerged economy will be strengthened, which will be undertaken in a joint and coordinated way with the Labour and Social Security Inspectorate and the General Treasury of Security Social, for which actions of an in-person nature are foreseen.

In this same area, tax engineering and abusive tax planning will be areas of priority attention, as well as the pursuit of trust structures and corporate fabrics created to evade tax payments, or the creation of intragroup financial liabilities generating financial expenses to reduce or eliminate tax bases obtained and to be taxed in Spain.

the strengthening of the exchange of information between administrations and international cooperation, particularly in the field of the OECD, will make it possible to undertake more effectively the fight against tax havens and low taxation, in particular for the detection of assets, deposits and financial products in those territories whose ownership corresponds to citizens resident in Spain. The Tax Agency will make every effort in international forums and also bilaterally so that collaboration between tax administrations improves and results in practical results.

other areas related to international taxation will also be the subject of priority attention, such as the misuse of transfer prices in three main concepts: restructuring business, the valuation of intangibles and the treatment of losses arising from the global economic crisis.

Will continue the control actions of previous years such as those related to VAT fraud schemes in intra-Community operations, taking advantage of the progress made by the new EUROFISC programme and the amendments to the Regulation on mutual assistance promoted by Spain, the checks of tax groups on companies and groups of entities in VAT, those in the real estate sector and others, adjusted to the current importance of these activities and the estimated risks.

In relation to the control of foreign trade and excise duties, special attention will be given to the control of the value in Customs of imported goods, to the actions related to the security of the chain logistics as well as to the control of the application of the exemptions or bonuses, in particular, in the Tax on Hydrocarbons and in the Special Tax on the Determinated Means of Transport.

It should be noted that for the development of the actions described above, the Tax Agency will reinforce the actions aimed at collecting information from different sources of tax importance, among which the from international conventions and agreements for the exchange of information and also the IT tools for the selection of contributors to ensure maximum effectiveness and coordination in the implementation of control actions, taking advantage of the opportunities offered by the new technologies of the information and communications, which allow, inter alia, to implement the system of electronic notifications for a good number of entities.

The second of the major areas in which the Control Plan is articulated focuses on the fight against fraud in the collection phase for which the risk assessment in the inspection phase is consolidated as the criterion for achieving greater efficiency in collecting data.

The programme of coordinated actions is expected to be widespread in order to make it possible to anticipate the actions to be taken at the liquidation stage. The control of debtors with systematic non-compliance with obligations, the actions of specific collection control in relation to the congration processes that will be chaired by the criterion of strengthening the participation of the Tax agency in the different phases of the competition, as well as the actions of control collected in relation to the crimes against the Public Finance.

Finally, the guidelines of the Plan address a third area of actions in which control is included on the taxes transferred, as an expression of the need to carry out coordinated actions with the Tax administrations of the Autonomous Communities responsible for the management of such taxes, which highlights the full consolidation throughout 2011 of the Single Shared Census and the priority nature of the coordinated actions in relationship to the most significant real estate or social operations with an impact on the Temporary taxes.

By virtue of the above, I have:

First. Approval of the general guidelines of the 2011 General Tax Control Plan.-The general guidelines of the 2011 General Tax Control Plan of the State Tax Administration Agency, which are set out in the Annex to the General Tax Control Plan, are approved. Resolution.

The Tax Agency's General Tax Control Plan is articulated around three broad areas:

Checking and investigating tax fraud.

Control of fraud in the collection phase.

Control of fraud in relation to temporary taxes.

I. Tax fraud checking and investigation

The control actions are aimed at checking the statements made by the taxpayers and the investigation aimed at the discovery of undeclared facts or bases, in order to practice the necessary actions. regularisations of the tax situation of taxpayers until the effective recovery of the debts and tax penalties resulting from such regularisations is achieved.

In this regard and in relation to the control by the various areas of the Tax Agency, coordinated methods of selection will be used, which define the risk groups on which each of the areas.

The priority areas of control are set out below in 2011.

1. Control over tax liability with higher tax risk.

(a) Control of professional activities. -They will be expanded and enhanced control actions on income derived from professional activities through the use of new sources of information or external signs of wealth that will allow the discovery of undeclared income, as well as to detect the inclusion of fictitious expenses in the declarations presented by the professionals, through the examination of those items of expenditure that, according to the activity in question appears to be disproportionate or not in line with it.

The actions aimed at ensuring the correct impact of VAT on invoices will also be strengthened, especially when individuals are directly targeted. Control of external signs of wealth

Check-out actions will be carried out on tax obliged to present external signs of relevant wealth that manifest a high economic capacity that does not correspond to the declared income levels. To this end, specific IT tools will be designed, focusing on the heritage analysis and detection of external signs in natural persons, and at the same time, direct research actions will be strengthened with the intervention of the Customs and Excise Operational.

(b) Control of means of payment. -Actions directed towards taxpayers involved in operations using high denomination banknotes in order to detect undeclared income or assets will continue to be Priority focus is given. Investigations shall be extended to cash movements for particularly high amounts and to those who are obliged to tax credit with significant credits in their bank accounts.

In this area, collaboration with the customs services of the countries of origin or destination of the funds will be enhanced, through the exchange of information on the patrimonial situation or the history of the people carrying of the means of payment.

(c) Control of fraud in the subcontracting sector. -Action will be taken to detect false sub-contracting firms which, under the guise of works or service providers for a The main contractor has actually been the sole object of issuing false invoices without responding to real and effective economic activity, invoices which are used by the recipient to obtain tax deductions. (i) Similarly, in this field, action will be taken on sub-contractors which carry out a real economic activity while on the one hand they employ workers without a high level of social security and, on the other hand, they do not submit taxes or present them without entering the due fees.

The information on subcontracting in the Tax Agency, the General Treasury of Social Security and the Labor and Social Security Inspectorate will be shared in order to detect these assumptions of fraud and to schedule the joint or coordinated actions to be carried out by these three bodies.

In particular, precautionary measures will be taken on operators who have ceased their activities in view of the obvious tax risk arising from the difficulty of recovery.

d) Control of non-residents. -It will investigate the legal relationships that non-resident holders of bank accounts may have in Spanish territory with businesses located in Spain, in order to evaluate the possible existence of income obtained in Spain.

e) Control of the tax situation of tax authorities convicted of tax crimes.-The follow-up of the taxpayers who have been the subject of a complaint or conviction for crime against the Public Finance will be carried out of the adoption of the measures.

(f) Control of tax obligations under objective taxation regimes.-The control of issuers of false invoices that are taxed in objective estimation regimes will be a priority area of care, so that the address both the issuers and the recipients of those invoices.

In addition, it will be particularly active in relation to those taxpayers in objective estimation that artificially divide their activity among several subjects in order to circumvent the exclusion of this regime.

On the other hand, you will have an impact on the control of unusual operations or excessive amounts linked to entrepreneurs in modules with other entrepreneurs or professionals in direct estimation.

The control actions to be carried out will be reinforced by the implementation of a plan of visits to contributors in modules, which will provide evidence of the existence of some of the irregularities mentioned.

(g) Control of non-declarants.-A control action plan shall be carried out in respect of those taxpayers who have failed to fulfil their obligations to submit the relevant self-procedures for any In order to demand the tax quotas that would have resulted from a correct self-validation.

2. The black economy comprises all the legal productive activities that are deliberately hidden from the authorities in order to avoid both the payment of taxes and social security contributions and the fulfillment of labour regulations.

In the framework of the Comprehensive Plan for the Prevention and Correction of Tax Fraud, Labor and Social Security, the control bodies will focus their action on the detection of undeclared economic activities or on which the amount of the object of the declaration is proportionally very small in relation to the activity actually developed. These actions will also pursue the identification of falsely self-employed workers and the discovery of natural persons who do not declare the perceived income which, in addition, may be in receipt of welfare benefits in respect of unemployment or Social Security.

Measures to combat the shadow economy provided for in the Comprehensive Plan for the Prevention and Correction of Tax, Labor and Social Security Fraud will be implemented in a coordinated or joint manner with the Labour Inspectorate. and Social Security or the General Treasury of Social Security.

In this field, the following actions will be the focus of attention:

(a) In-person actions in premises located in certain geographical areas or in which activities specific to certain economic sectors are carried out. -These actions shall be directed towards obtaining evidence of the carrying out hidden economic activities in certain productive sectors.

b) Exploitation and analysis of information on economic activities exchanged with the General Treasury of Social Security or with the Labour and Social Security Inspectorate. the discovery of economic activities which, having been declared before the social order bodies, have not been before the Tax Office. It is also intended to detect economic activities whose nature does not correspond to the type of activity that has been declared to the Tax Office or to the agencies under the Ministry of Labour and Immigration, with the aim of Misuse of any tax or social benefit.

c) Treatment of information from the new annual information statement on electrical energy consumption (model 159)-To detect buildings where a certain level of energy consumption has been appreciated electrical and do not consist of as intended for use, either for the development of economic activities or for the rental.

The phenomenon of undervaluation of imported goods and economic activities The situation in the area of the Community's internal market is of great importance to the Community's own resources. This also directly affects trade, intellectual property rights and the protection of citizens as a result of product counterfeiting.

It is necessary to have an integral control that encompasses measures of different nature that are presided over by the aim of greater efficiency. Collaboration with other public bodies takes on a fundamental role. The following actions will be taken in this priority area:

Research on marketing channels for imported goods, including in-person performances.

Intensification of control in Customs on goods imported into aspects such as customs value of goods, detection of counterfeit goods, preferential arrangements, breaches of trade policy and anti-dumping duties.

II. Control of fraud in the collection phase

The second of the major areas in which the General Control Plan is articulated focuses on actions aimed at achieving the effective recovery of regularisations and liquidations arising from the earlier detailed actions. of tax and customs control. The main criteria and principles that will govern these actions are set out below.

1. Evaluation of the risk collection in the inspection phase. -The program of monitoring of coordinated actions between the teams and units of Financial and Tax Inspection, Customs Inspection and Collection from the the initiation of the verification to anticipate the adoption of precautionary measures and the procedures for the declaration of liability, in order to ensure the recovery of the tax debts resulting from these procedures check.

2. Control of debtors with systematic non-compliance with their tax obligations. -It will be an area of special monitoring of the debtors who are in a situation of systematic failure of their tax obligations. The following shall be made in respect of such debtors ' actions as a result of the assets deposited in their offices and of how many credits are possible according to the accounting information that may be obtained in the said proceedings. This, with the dual purpose of collecting the outstanding debt and preventing action on the market of these subjects, in order to prevent the injury resulting to the public finances, as well as the illicit competition that this tax fraud entails. in respect of the economic sector in which it occurs.

3. Personnel of the collection bodies in the cases of higher complexity collection. -The effective presence of the organs of collection in the premises of the forced tributaries will be intensified in the following cases:

Debtors with significant amount of executive period debts.

Requests for deferment or fractionation for relevant amounts in order to assess the financial and patrimonial situation of the tax authorities.

4. Monitoring of apparent insolvencies. -In particular, the participation of apparently insolvent debtors will be investigated in the creation of successive commercial companies that do not enter their tax obligations, in which the recovery of the debt receivable.

The actions to be carried out will, on the one hand, lead to evidence of the accreditation of punishable insolvency cases and, on the other hand, to the early adoption of the debt recovery insurance measures which proceed.

5. Control of processes involving the increase in the number of cases requires specific actions to be taken in order to prevent acts of fraud which seek to take advantage of the protection afforded by insolvency law. to avoid the payment of tax debts or to avoid incurring the liability assumptions provided for by the tax rules. The following control actions will therefore be intensified in the field of insolvency:

Opposition to the approval of accounts in contests in which alterations are detected in the order of payment of the credits and in which there are credits against the tax-related mass of nature pending payment.

Impulse control of the responsibilities of the conclave administrators.

Potentiation of a more active participation in the qualification phase in order to obtain and contribute those tests that allow a guilty contest qualification when it is estimated that the assumptions collected in the Article 164 of the Insolvency Law.

6. Actions to be collected in relation to the crime against the Public Finance. -It will strengthen the actions collected in relation to the crime against the Public Finance, both through the referral of the file to the criminal field in order to propose to the judicial bodies the adoption of precautionary measures where risk is collected, as well as through the establishment of systems of patrimonial surveillance in relation to those called to answer for the civil responsibility arising from the offence against the Public Finance during its judicial proceedings, detecting conduct of patrimonial emptying and even alleged punishable insolvencies (as provided for in Article 258 of the Criminal Code). This monitoring will also make it possible to properly inform the collection side of the proposals for compliance.

With regard to the administrative procedure for the recovery of civil liability arising from a crime against the Public Finance (and since 23 December 2010, the fine, as provided for in the new paragraph 5 of the article) 305 of the Penal Code, introduced by the Organic Law 5/2010, of June 22), the organs of collection will pay special attention to the conduct of the convicts, in case they would have to put them in the knowledge of the judges requesting the withdrawal of the suspension of the entry in prison in the face of non-compliance with its obligations of entry without being insolvent.

8. The main measures to be taken in the framework of the correction of fraud in the collection phase will focus on the consequences of liability. In this respect, the actions of investigation aimed at the application of the alleged lifting of the veil, administrators of fact and responsible for the concealment of goods, with exercise in the case of the actions, will be expanded (a) judicial proceedings.

9. Reinforcement of the adoption of precautionary measures. -The precautionary measures are being revealed in recent years as a very effective instrument in the fight against the patrimonial emptying. This is why this kind of action will be taken with the collaboration of the areas of Tax Management, Tax Inspection and Customs and Excise.

III. Control of fraud in relation to temporary taxes.

Law 22/2009 of 18 December, which regulates the system of financing of the Autonomous Communities of the common regime and cities with the Statute of Autonomy and changes certain tax rules, provides for the promotion and development of information exchanges between the autonomous and state tax administrations, as well as the need to set up coordinated planning of the actions carried out by the various administrations on the Temporary taxes.

On the other hand, the General Rules of Procedure and the procedures for the management and inspection of taxes and the development of common rules for the application of taxes, approved by Royal Decree 1065/2007 of 27 July 2007, establishes in Article 2 the monthly exchange of census information between the Tax Agency and the Autonomous Communities and Cities with Autonomy Statute, as well as with the Local Entities with which collaboration agreements are signed. In turn, the Fiscal Fraud Prevention Plan, along the lines of strengthening collaboration between tax administrations, refers to the Unified Census Shared as a database built with the census information obtained by the State and regional tax administrations. This mechanism was launched in 2009, and its full consolidation is planned throughout 2011.

Finally, Law 4/2008, of December 23, established a 100 percent bonus in the Heritage Tax from January 1, 2008, which does not exclude the control of the declarations regarding this tax for previous years.
