This submission describes the implementation in Spain of an electronic system for processing and disposing of property, goods and other items seized by customs.
The Tax Computer Systems and Collection Departments of the Tax Administration in Spain have developed a new application which enables users to participate, on the internet, in processes for the disposal of seized property nation-wide.
Under this system, anyone who wishes to participate in an on-line auction may do so without having to be physically present at the location where the auction is taking place. Users may also make enquiries about the auctions to be held at the different Collection Offices and about the property being auctioned.
This application also enables participants to deposit the amounts required to participate in the proceedings on-line and to pay the remaining balance of the auction price if they do purchase auctioned goods, or if not to obtain an on-line refund of any amounts deposited.
The application achieves two basic objectives:
1) It makes the system completely transparent. Any interested party may obtain information on the property being auctioned, the offers made and the actual buyer of the goods auctioned.
2) It makes it possible for any citizen to participate in these proceedings, eliminating the inconvenience of having to be physically present and therefore promotes a higher rate of participation.
