August non-working month in Treasury 2025 civil service exams: which bodies are affected and what to do

Key data

If you are preparing for or participating in any of the six selective processes of the 2025 public employment offer of the Ministry of Treasury, this resolution directly affects you: August 2026 does not count for deadline purposes. The Treasury Under-Secretary has declared this through Resolution of June 17, 2026 (BOE-A-2026-13908), published on June 26, 2026.

This means that any deadline that should be met during August is suspended and resumes on September 1. There is nothing to do in August: no documentation to submit, no procedures to perform, no responses to requirements with effects in that month.

What does this regulation establish?

The resolution declares August 2026 as a non-working month exclusively for the purpose of calculating deadlines in the selective processes of the following six bodies of the 2025 OEP of the Ministry of Treasury:

The measure implies that any deadline that should be met in August is suspended and resumes in September, adding the days remaining at the beginning of August. It does not affect other selective processes of the Ministry or other administrations.

The resolution can be challenged through administrative review within one month or through administrative litigation within two months before the Superior Court of Justice of Madrid.

Economic and operational impact

For candidates, the impact is mainly operational and planning-related, not direct economic. Declaring August non-working has immediate practical consequences:

• Automatic suspension of deadlines: any deadline in progress that reaches August is paralyzed without needing to request an extension or communicate anything.
• Resumption in September: deadlines resume their calculation on September 1, adding the pending days from July 31.
• No obligation to submit documentation in August: no procedure with effects in August is required during that month.
• Planning for academies and tutors: training calendars and documentation submission deadlines must be recalculated taking this suspension into account.

From the perspective of the qualifying tribunals and the Ministry itself, the measure allows managing the selective process without the operational difficulties of August, when the availability of personnel and candidates is lower.

Who does it affect?

• Candidates participating in the selective processes of the 6 bodies of the 2025 OEP of the Ministry of Treasury listed in the resolution.
• Qualifying tribunals of these processes: their actions and deadlines are also affected by the non-working declaration.
• Preparation academies and private tutors who manage calendars and documentation submissions for candidates for these bodies.
• HR managers of organizations expecting incorporations derived from these selective processes.

It does not affect candidates for other bodies of the Ministry of Treasury not included in the resolution, nor selective processes of other public administrations.

Practical example

A candidate for the Senior Cadastral Management Body receives a notification on July 25, 2026 to submit supporting documentation within 20 working days.

Without the non-working declaration, the deadline would expire around August 21. With the resolution in force, August days do not count: the calculation stops on July 31 (with 5 working days consumed, from July 25 to 31) and resumes on September 1. The remaining 15 working days would be counted from September, which would move the deadline to approximately September 22, 2026.

The candidate does not need to request any extension or communicate anything: the suspension operates automatically by effect of the resolution.

What should candidates do now?

1. Identify if your selective process is included: verify that your body appears among the six listed in the resolution. If it does not appear, the non-working declaration does not apply to you.
2. Recalculate your deadlines: if you have any deadline in progress that reaches August, deduct those days and add the equivalent in September. The calculation resumes on September 1.
3. Do not submit documentation in August with effects in that month: it is not mandatory or computable. Wait until September if the deadline allows.
4. Inform your academy or tutor: ensure that the calendars for documentation submission and actions before the tribunal are updated with this suspension.
5. Keep the resolution: save the official text (BOE-A-2026-13908) as backup in case of discrepancy about deadline calculation.
6. If you want to challenge the resolution: the deadline is one month for administrative review or two months for administrative litigation before the Superior Court of Justice of Madrid, from the publication date (June 26, 2026).
