Ley Orgánica 2/2012, de 27 de abril, de Estabilidad Presupuestaria y Sostenibilidad Financiera; Ley 47/2003, de 26 de noviembre, General Presupuestaria; Constitución Española (1978) Arts. 133–136

Spain's national fiscal transparency framework is anchored in the Constitución Española Art. 134 (Presupuestos Generales del Estado annually by October 1 = 92 days before FY start), Ley Orgánica 2/2012 de Estabilidad Presupuestaria y Sostenibilidad Financiera (LOEPSF), and Ley 47/2003 General Presupuestaria. The LOEPSF implements the EU Fiscal Compact balanced budget rule and establishes the AIReF (Autoridad Independiente de Responsabilidad Fiscal, LO 6/2013) — Spain's independent fiscal council and EU IFI Network member. The Tribunal de Cuentas (Const. Art. 136) is constitutionally mandated as the supreme audit institution with financial and performance audit scope under LO 2/1982. The IGAE (Intervención General de la Administración del Estado) serves as Spain's internal control body and publishes the annual Cuenta General. Ley 19/2013 (Ley de Transparencia) mandates active publication of presupuestos and budget execution on official portals. Ley 47/2003 Art. 34 + annual Presupuestos include the mandatory Memoria de Beneficios Fiscales (tax expenditure annex). Ley 33/2003 del Patrimonio mandates the Inventario General de Bienes y Derechos del Estado (asset inventory). Ley 9/2017 transposes EU Dir 2014/24/EU (procurement); Ley 2/2023 transposes EU Dir 2019/1937 (whistleblower). Spain is a Eurozone member subject to EU Two-Pack (Regulation 473/2013): interim_reporting_frequency = 'monthly'. GAPS: salary disclosure not confirmed as statutory requirement for Spanish public employees. Currency: EUR; fiscal year: calendar year.
