A state tax revenue totaled 51,161.9 million euros by September, growing 6.5% compared to the first nine months of 2025, driven by the IRS and VAT, indicate data released today by the Budgetary Entity (EO).
The accumulated revenue from January to September of the universe of Public Administrations – which includes state services and autonomous funds, regional administration, municipalities, parishes and Social Security – was 103,872.8 million euros, plus 9,310.6 more than that obtained in the same period last year, the equivalent of a growth of 9,8%.
The EO newsletter shows an acceleration of revenue in September, with the variation in the charge rising from 7.9% to August, to move to a cumulative growth rate of 9.8% until September.
Tax revenue, which totalled EUR 57,402.5 million, grew by 6.6% in homologous terms, while non-tax and non-contributory revenue, by 19,491.4 million, rose by 26.4%.
The input of contributions to social protection systems to 26,979,0 million, showed a positive variation of 6.7%.
The tax revenue of the subsector State, which totaled 51,161.9 million (plus 6,5%) supports 89.13% of the tax revenue of the whole Public Administrations.
“The increase evidenced by the tax revenue of the Public Administrations was based on the behavior of the revenues of the subsector State, with emphasis on the revenue of the IRS (13.5%) and VAT (9.4%), although mitigated by the reduction of the IRC revenue (-6.2%) and the ISP (-5.6%). It also contributed to that growth the largest volume of revenue obtained in the subsector of the Local Administration, mainly from the IMI (21.8%) ", says the OE in the synthesis.
In the tax collection universe, the revenue from direct taxes (where the IRS and the IRC are located) amounted to 23,430.9 million euros, increasing EUR 1,425,5 million (6.5%), which, according to EO, reflects, “mainly, the growth of IRS net revenue, of 1,919,9 million euros (13.5%), despite the increase in refunds and refunds paid (244,4 million euros; 9.4%)”.
“ To this evolution contributed the growth of retentions in the source that was influenced by a base effect resulting from the application of the retention tables in the source in 2025, with impact on the revenue of September of that year, which was not repeated in the homologous period of 2026”, says EO.
To the contrary, he adds, “the net revenue of CRF decreased by EUR 464.2 million (-6.2%), reflecting, inter alia, the reduction of the payments by reverse payment (EUR 301.6 million, -9.8 %) and the increase in repayments and refunds paid (168.5 million, 8.5%)”.
On the side of indirect taxes, the state raised 27,731.0 million by September, more 6.5% than in the first nine months of last year. The increase of EUR 1,693,9 million is mainly due to the growth of net VAT revenue of EUR 1,783,5 million (9.4%), despite the increase in repayments and refunds paid (EUR 28,6 million, 4.5%).
Conversely, the net revenue of the Oil and Energy Tax (ISP) decreased by EUR 159 million (-5.6%).
“ Correcting the effect of the extension of the VAT payment, which amounted to EUR 748.9 million in September 2026, compared to EUR 585.7 million in the same period, the revenue from this tax would have increased by EUR 1,946.7 million (10%) and the total tax revenue would have increased by EUR 3,282.6 million (6.8%)”, says EO in the summary.
