The Málaga Collection Board extends the voluntary payment period

The Collection Board (Patronato de Recaudación) is extending the voluntary payment period for the receipts it manages, according to Edict 3600/2026 published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Málaga on September 21, 2026. The announcement appears in section 2 of the gazette, dedicated entirely to the collecting body, and extends the window for taxpayers to pay their receipts without a surcharge.

The Collection Board is the body of the Provincial Council of Málaga (Diputación de Málaga) that assumes the tax and collection management for the municipalities in the province that have delegated this competence to it. Its activity is published continuously in the Official Gazette of the Province of Málaga, and in the same issue from September 21, it shares section 2 with Edict 3356/2026, regarding the approval of the date, time, and place for the first exercise for a Management Technician II position.

The extension of the voluntary period adds to a sequence of collection announcements that the body has been publishing throughout September, confirming that the collection campaign for the fiscal year is in full activity.

What Edict 3600/2026 publishes

Edict 3600/2026 is published in section 2 — Collection Board of the Official Gazette of the Province of Málaga corresponding to September 21, 2026, under the heading Málaga and titled “Extension of voluntary payment period.”

The official announcement refers to the receipts whose management corresponds to the Collection Board in the municipalities entrusted to it. The extension of the voluntary deadline is the standard method for taxpayers to pay their receipts within the period without a surcharge, before the debt enters the executive phase.

The September collection campaign

The announcement of September 21 is part of a series of collection edicts from the Collection Board disseminated in the same month:

• Edict 3403/2026, of September 1: collection announcement from the Regulatory Council DO Málaga SM and Pasas M to Marbella.
• Edict 3404/2026, of September 1: collection announcement from Alozaina to Valle de Abdalajís.
• Edict 3525/2026, of September 15: public exhibition of the census and collection announcement of the economic activities tax for several municipalities.
• Edict 3531/2026, of September 16: final approval of budget modification file number 1 of the 2026 budget.
• Edict 3532/2026, of September 16: collection announcement from Almargen to Yunquera.

Who it affects

The measure affects taxpayers in the municipalities whose collection is managed by the Collection Board of the Provincial Council of Málaga, who are the recipients of the collection announcements published in the provincial gazette.

The practical effect is a larger window for payment within the voluntary period and, therefore, without the surcharge applied when payment is made after the deadline. The agency’s collection edicts cover both specific municipalities and groups of localities, and in September, they also included the tax roll for the economic activities tax.

Publication in the Official Gazette of the Province of Málaga is the formal channel through which the Collection Board communicates these decisions to taxpayers, such that the edict constitutes the official reference for the extension.

The extension of the voluntary period has a direct impact on household finances and the treasury of the province’s taxpayers: gaining days to pay avoids the surcharge and the costs of executive proceedings, and provides leeway for those receiving several bills in the same campaign. For the city councils whose taxes are managed by the Collection Board, the announcement also organizes the municipal revenue calendar for the fiscal year.
