Show answer and explanation
✓ La Agencia Tributaria
The Agencia Tributaria (the tax agency) is the State body that collects and manages taxes, for example the income tax return (IRPF) and the IVA (value-added tax). It depends on the Ministerio de Hacienda (the Ministry of Finance). The Banco de España (Spain's central bank) supervises the banking system and the Consejo Económico y Social advises the Government. Trick: "tributo" is another word for tax, and "tributaria" comes from "tributo".
