Kit Digital in 2026: closed to new applications; what remains if you have the voucher (agreements, phases, justification, payments and repayment)

No. As of 5 October 2026 you cannot apply for the Kit Digital. Acelera Pyme states it bluntly: "The calls for the Kit Digital Programme have ended", and the Red.es sede electrónica (its official online office) marks all calls as "PLAZO FINALIZADO" (deadline ended). The last window closed on 31 October 2025 at 11:00, simultaneously for Segment III (from 0 to fewer than 3 employees, including autónomos, self-employed workers) and for comunidades de bienes (joint ownerships), sociedades civiles (civil-law partnerships) and shared ownership agricultural holdings.

The others closed earlier: Segments I and II on 31 December 2024 and Segments IV and V (medium-sized companies, generally from 50 to fewer than 250 employees) on 30 June 2025. According to Red.es, the programme reached around 850,000 businesses with more than €3,400 million granted.

Today the Red.es sede electrónica only has 3 procedures open and none is a Kit Digital call that your business can apply for: the adhesion of digitising agents, the adhesion of Kit Consulting advisors and the C012/26-IA call, for artificial intelligence ecosystems, which closes on 10 November 2026. If someone offers to "process the Kit Digital 2026" for you, or offers you a free computer charged to the Kit Digital, you should know that there is no open deadline to request it.

It does not reopen deadlines or change amounts. It was published in the BOE on 28 January 2026, has been in force since the 29th and only touches 3 points of the bases (bases reguladoras, the official rules of the scheme): it extends their validity until the funds are exhausted (and maintains it for vouchers already granted until the file is closed, repayments included), it obliges Red.es to reinvest the unexecuted remainder "even after 2026" and, if there are unallocated funds, it obliges it to formulate new resolution proposals in favour of those who applied on time and were left without aid because the budget ran out.

This last point explains why Red.es continues to grant vouchers in 2026 without opening a deadline: the BDNS includes Segment III grants from 30 March 2026, the call for medium-sized companies was resolved on 17 June 2026 and the one for joint ownerships on 3 August 2026, all regarding applications submitted before the closure. If you applied on time, were denied only due to lack of funds and now there are unallocated funds, the grant proposal would arrive ex officio, without applying again, and is notified by being made available in the Red.es sede electrónica. The order mandates processing these proposals in accordance with article 63.3 of the Reglamento de la Ley General de Subvenciones (the General Subsidies Act Regulations): if you receive one, check if they ask you to accept it and within what timeframe.

The preamble of the order allows the surplus to be allocated, "when appropriate", to new calls, but to date none has been announced, nor a date, nor an amount. Neither is the Artificial Intelligence Voucher of the Plan IA360, presented on 21 September 2026, an open alternative: it is announced (€600 million for 25,000 companies, a pilot in the first half of 2027 and a general call before the end of 2027), with no bases, no managing body and no amount per company.

The voucher is not money in your account: it is a collection right that you assign to the digitising agent when signing each Agreement for the Provision of Digitisation Solutions. Red.es pays the agent, phase by phase, when it is justified. But the responsibility is not assigned: the bases state that the "ultimate responsible parties" for the justification are the beneficiaries.

The deadlines are linked as follows (you have them in the table): 6 months from the notification of the grant, or its modification, to sign agreements; phase 1 of up to 3 months from the validation of the agreement, in which the solution is installed and the invoice is issued; and phase 2 of 12 months from the invoice date, in which the solution must continue to be provided. The justification for phase 1 is submitted within 6 months from the validation of the agreement and that of phase 2, within 3 months from its end.

The part of the voucher that is not associated with agreements signed in those 6 months is lost. If you were granted the voucher in 2026, look at the resolution to see from when the 6 months count (the one for joint ownerships from August 2026 counts them from its publication, not from the notification): the clock is already ticking. Adding the deadlines of the bases, a voucher granted in 2026 can continue in justification until well into 2028, and the Court of Auditors noted that more than 21 months can pass between the grant and the final payment.

The justification is prepared and submitted by the agent on your behalf, in the platform's form, but it does not progress without you. In each phase you must give your express conformity to the installed solution and sign the declaration of not having received other aid for the same cost. In addition, you must pay the agent the part of the invoice not covered by the voucher and the VAT, which is not eligible for subsidy, and proof of this payment must be provided within the justification period.

While the provision lasts, you must maintain the publicity of the European funding (the declaration "financiado por la Unión Europea-Next Generation EU" (funded by the European Union-Next Generation EU) next to the Recovery Plan logo and, when appropriate, the Union emblem), register the operations in a differentiated accounting code and keep invoices and receipts for 4 years from the expiration of the justification deadline. You must also be up to date with Hacienda (the Spanish Tax Agency) and the Seguridad Social (the Spanish social security system) at each payment and submit to checks: the Spanish Chamber of Commerce, a collaborating entity, can request access to the solution, a demonstration or a visit.

If the Chamber finds something missing, the request for complementary documentation reaches you, not the agent, through the platform (Tramitación de Acuerdo, Ampliación de documentación: the agreement processing and additional documentation sections), with 15 working days to reply. In practice, it is the last moment to provide new evidence: the bases allow accompanying documentation to the written submissions (alegaciones), but the Red.es guide warns that it will not take it into account. Do not leave it in the hands of the agent without checking that they respond.

If the agent does not submit the justification on time, Red.es gives them 15 days and communicates it to you. Take that notice as an alarm: if the deadline passes without justification, the repayment is demanded from the beneficiary. For the Tax Agency, furthermore, the Kit Digital counts as income from your business activity.

"No pagada" (unpaid) is the status of an already validated justification that Red.es cannot pay to the agent. According to the Red.es justification guide, it occurs when the collection account is wrong or when you are not up to date with the Tax Agency or with the Seguridad Social. The bases require being up to date and not being a debtor for repayment at each payment, that of phase 1 and the final one.

The consequence falls on you: if the payment is not made due to your cause, the bases oblige you to pay the agent the costs they have incurred. To unblock it, the debt must be regularised. The Reglamento de la Ley General de Subvenciones considers debts that have been deferred or split into instalments to be up to date, and also repayment debts that are deferred, split into instalments or suspended by an appeal.

At Managora we obtain the certificate of being up to date for you to see exactly which debt is blocking the payment (certificate of being up to date with payments service page; you can see the updated amount on that page). Red.es does not publish whether it retries the payment on its own when the debt is regularised, so, once resolved, check the status of the agreement on the platform.

It can happen, and it is demanded from you even if the agent collected the money. There are 2 different mechanisms: the loss of the right to collection, which affects what has not yet been paid, and the repayment, which claims what has already been paid plus late payment interest. According to Red.es, if phase 1 is not justified, the right to collection of the entire agreement is lost; if phase 2 is not justified, the repayment of what was paid for phase 1 is demanded and the collection of phase 2 is lost.

There are also partial losses, the so-called reduced loss: 1% for each month of delay, up to 7%, if the invoice was issued or paid late, and a fixed 10% for breaching the publicity. They are added together. Faced with partial breaches, the bases oblige applying proportionality when the compliance is close to the total and you prove that you acted to comply.

It is not a theoretical risk: the addendum to the agreement between Red.es and the Chamber of Spain, published in the BOE on 22 September 2025, foresees 114,100 agreements with complete loss and repayment between the second half of 2025 and 2028, 35,656 of them in 2026.

The interest runs from the payment until the repayment is ordered, or until you deposit it if you do so earlier; in 2026 the rate is 4.0625%. Therefore, if the breach is clear, returning it voluntarily cuts interest. The right to claim becomes time-barred 4 years from the expiration of the justification deadline or the end of the maintenance period, and the procedure expires if the resolution is not notified within 12 months from the decision opening it (acuerdo de inicio). In joint ownerships, the co-owners are jointly and severally liable, in proportion to their participation.

The initiation is notified only by appearance on the platform (Buzón, Notificaciones: the notifications mailbox), not by letter or in the BOE. If you do not log in, after 10 calendar days of being made available to you, it is considered notified. From there you have 15 working days to submit written submissions (alegaciones) under Tramitación de Acuerdos, Alegaciones a la pérdida de derecho a cobro (the section for written submissions against the loss of the right to collection), signing with a certificate or Cl@ve (the Spanish electronic identity system).

Red.es warns in its guide that it will not take into account new documentation accompanying the written submissions (alegaciones), although the bases allow presenting "the written submissions and documentation deemed appropriate". That is why useful written submissions (alegaciones) work with what is already in the file: a poorly calculated reduction, the lack of proportionality, that the agent was not sent a formal request, with notice to you, before the procedure was initiated, that the breach is attributable to the agent, that the procedure has lapsed (caducidad) or the claim is time-barred (prescripción).

With our Kit Digital and Kit Consulting written submissions (alegaciones) and appeal service, we read the complete notification, the agreement, the invoice and the payment receipt, calculate your deadlines and draft the written submissions (alegaciones). We submit them if the platform admits us as your voluntary representative; if it does not admit it, we leave everything ready for you and you sign with your Cl@ve or your certificate, guided step by step. We never ask for your digital certificate. You can see the updated amount on the service page.

If you already have the resolution, read its appeals footer. In the Kit Digital grant resolutions that Red.es publishes, it is a reposición appeal in 1 month or a contentious-administrative appeal in 2 months before the Central Contentious-Administrative Courts, which since Ley Orgánica 1/2025 are the Contentious-Administrative Section of the Central Court of Instance. The appeal does not suspend the collection on its own, but if you request the suspension and they do not answer you in 1 month, it is understood as granted. And the reposición appeal works: in the Kit Consulting, Red.es upheld appeals in April 2026 from applicants it had considered withdrawn and ended up granting them the voucher.

No. Its only call (C012/24-SI) admitted applications from 18 June 2024 to 31 March 2025 at 11:00 and Acelera Pyme marks it as "CONVOCATORIA FINALIZADA" (call ended). The vouchers were for €12,000 (10 to fewer than 50 employees), €18,000 (50 to fewer than 100) and €24,000 (100 to fewer than 250). Orden TDF/38/2026 did the same as the Kit Digital one: extend the bases, reinvest the remainder and, if there are unallocated funds, propose the grant ex officio to those who missed out because the budget ran out, with no new deadline.

The last deadline to sign agreements, that of the vouchers granted since 28 February 2026, ended on 31 May 2026 at 23:59 (the general deadline had ended on 31 October 2025), and what was not associated with agreements is lost. Following upheld appeals there were late grants (the last one, signed on 29 June 2026) with 3 months for the first agreement. The execution is a single phase: the advisor provides the service in 3 months from the validation of the agreement and justifies it in 5. If you withdraw after the payment and do not return the aid, a repayment procedure is opened.

What can you request today instead? For any other subsidy with a call within the deadline, we prepare the application for you with our public subsidy application service, after checking that the deadline is open and that you meet the requirements. You can see the updated amount on the service page.
