Payment of a fine

The payment of the fine can be with the 50% reduction or with the full amount of the fine. It can only be paid with 50% during the 20 calendar days following the date of notification of the complaint.

There are different situations:

1. Payment with the fine ticket. This form has a payment validity period of 20 calendar days from the date of the report. If this period of time has elapsed and the payment has not been made, you will have to go to any Suma office or contact the call center at 965292000 to have a new payment document issued, which will be called Notification of the fine (Notificación de denuncia).
2. Payment with the document "Notification of the fine" with the reduced amount (50% reduction): This document has a validity of 1 month from the date of the initiation of the sanction procedure (this data is shown in the notification).
3. Payment with the document "Notification of the fine" with the full amount (this happens when no allegations have been presented). This document has a specific expiration that will be detailed in the document.
4. Payment with the document "Notification of the sanction" with the full amount. This document is always with the full amount, because the reduction is only contemplated during the period of 20 calendar days from the notification of the fine.

Fines not paid during the procedure must be paid within 15 calendar days of the date on which the sanction becomes final.

If the notification is not paid within the deadlines, an enforcement procedure will be in place to recover the amount due plus surcharges and other costs.

Deadline to pay with the 50% reduction (This is known as the reduced procedure.)

Once the offence has been notified, either by hand, by post, or by publication in the gazette, there is a deadline of 20 CALENDAR DAYS to pay the fine with a discount of 50%, as from the day after the notification date. Note that if the fine is paid:

• The administrative procedure is terminated.
• The administrative channel to appeal is concluded.
• No allegations can be made, and if they are made , they will be deemed not to have been made.
• No appeals can be made.
• Only an appeal to the Court of Administrative Disputer can be presented.
• The sanction is firm from the moment of payment.

What if the fine is not paid or no allegations are made within 20 calendar days of notification of the complaint?

If payment is not made within the 50% reduction period or if it is not alleged within 20 calendar days following notification of the complaint, the consequences are:

• The notification of the denunciation has the effect of a resolution.
• After 30 calendar days following notification of the complaint, the sanction can be executed.
• The termination of the procedure puts an end to the administrative procedure.

This only applies to:

• Slight infringements.
• Serious infringements that do not earn points.
• Serious and very serious infringements that were notified at the time of the complaint.

Deadlines to submit allegations (This is called Ordinary Procedure)

Once the offence has been notified, either by hand, by post or by the Gazette BOE; you have 20 NATURAL DAYS from the day following the date of notification of the complaint to make your allegations.

Contents of the allegations:

• Identification data of the interested party (name, surname and NIF)
• If presented by the authorised representative: Documentary evidence.
• Give details of the file (file number or number of the report form or registration number of the vehicle)
• Facts, motivated evidence.
• Signature of the interested party.

Answer from the Administration:

• If the allegations provide new or different data to that found by the complainant, and whenever deemed necessary by the instructor, the police agent will be notified to report within 15 calendar days.
• Once the investigation of the procedure has been completed, the investigating body will submit the proposed resolution to the competent body for sanctioning so that it can issue the sanctioning resolution.

The proposal shall only be sent to the interested party, so that he can make new allegations within 15 calendar days, if other facts or other allegations and evidence different from those put forward by the interested party have been included in the proceedings or have been taken into account in the decision.

An appeal may be lodged against the decision terminating the administrative procedure within one month of notification of the decision, or it may be lodged directly with the Court of Administrative Disputes (tribunal contencioso-administrativo).
