Officials of the General Auxiliary Corps assigned at AEAT who want to access certain reserved positions within the agency now have a specific window to act. The Resolution of July 20, 2026 from the Presidency of AEAT convenes internal selective tests to obtain the Tax Administration specialty, published in the BOE on July 30, 2026.
This specialty is not an optional merit: it is an access requirement for specific positions within AEAT that are reserved exclusively for those who possess it. Anyone who does not have it recognized and does not take these tests will not be able to apply for those assignments.
What does this regulation establish?
The resolution convenes an internal selective process with the sole objective of allowing officials of the General Auxiliary Corps who already work at AEAT to formally obtain the Tax Administration specialty. It is not an external access examination: it is an internal test for officials already active within the agency.
The three cumulative requirements to be able to apply are:
- Belong to the General Auxiliary Corps of the State Administration with the status of career official.
- Be assigned or have a reserved position at AEAT at the time of the call.
- Not already have recognized the Tax Administration specialty.
The process is governed by the principles of equal treatment between men and women in accordance with current regulations.
Regarding the application procedure, the call establishes that submission is mandatory electronic, without exception. The admitted means are the recognized electronic certificate or the Cl@ve PIN system. Paper applications or in-person registration submissions are not accepted.
Economic and operational impact
This call has no direct economic impact in terms of cost to the official or the organization in the form of fees or payments. The impact is professional and career-related:
- Access to reserved positions: The Tax Administration specialty is an exclusive requirement for certain positions within AEAT. Without it, the official is excluded from those position provision calls, regardless of seniority or merits.
- Limited time window: The 20 business day deadline is strict. Missing this call means waiting for a future similar resolution, whose date is not guaranteed.
- Operationally: The mandatory electronic method requires the official to have their electronic certificate or Cl@ve PIN operational before the deadline expires. A last-minute technical problem does not exempt from deadline non-compliance.
Who does it affect?
- Career officials of the General Auxiliary Corps of the State Administration with active assignment at AEAT.
- Officials of the same corps with reserved position at AEAT (for example, in special services status, leave with reserved position or other administrative situations with recognized reservation).
- Express exclusion: those who already have recognized the Tax Administration specialty cannot and should not apply.
It does not affect private companies, self-employed individuals or officials from other corps or scales. It is a strictly internal call from AEAT for its own auxiliary personnel.
Practical example
A career official of the General Auxiliary Corps who has been assigned to an AEAT Delegation for three years and has never obtained the Tax Administration specialty notices that several positions of greater responsibility in their delegation are reserved for those who possess it. With this call, they have the opportunity to take the tests.
To not miss the deadline, they should act as follows: verify that they meet the three requirements (corps, assignment at AEAT, without recognized specialty), check that their electronic certificate or Cl@ve PIN is operational, and submit the application electronically within the 20 business days counted from July 30, 2026. If they wait until the 21st business day, the application will be out of deadline and they will have to wait for a new call.
What should affected officials do now?
- Verify the three access requirements: Confirm that you belong to the General Auxiliary Corps as a career official, that you are assigned or have a reserved position at AEAT, and that you do not already have the Tax Administration specialty recognized.
- Calculate the deadline: Count 20 business days from July 30, 2026 to know the exact closing date for the application deadline. Business days exclude Saturdays, Sundays and national holidays.
- Check electronic means: Verify that the electronic certificate is current and operational, or that Cl@ve PIN access works correctly. Do this in advance, not on the last day.
- Submit the application electronically: Use the recognized electronic certificate or Cl@ve PIN. There is no other valid submission method.
- Save the submission receipt: Keep the electronic acknowledgment of receipt as proof that the application was submitted on time and in proper form.

Career officials of the General Auxiliary Corps of the State Administration who are assigned or have a reserved position at AEAT and who do not already have recognized the Tax Administration specialty can apply. The three requirements are cumulative.
How is the application for these AEAT tests submitted?
Submission is mandatory electronic. Only two means are accepted: recognized electronic certificate or the Cl@ve PIN system. There is no option for paper submission or in-person registration.
What is the Tax Administration specialty for at AEAT?
It is an exclusive access requirement for certain positions within AEAT that are reserved exclusively for those who possess this specialty. Without it, the official cannot apply for those assignments, regardless of seniority or merits.
What happens if I don't apply for this AEAT call?
Missing this call means not being able to obtain the specialty in this process and, therefore, continuing without access to positions reserved for it. There is no guaranteed alternative deadline: you would have to wait for AEAT to convene a new similar process in the future.
