Spontaneous accusation as well as installment of tax debts have a specific function in the legal order. The search for its concepts and foundations is necessary in order to solve controversies generated by the interpretation of the norms that rule such instances, which have not been taken into account by court decisions. Antinomies are created where there is none, preventing such instances from fulfilling the mission of accomplishing fundamental principles and rights. Once the paradigms that prevent the systematic interpretation of the rules that sustain such instances are overcome, it is concluded that the spontaneous accusation is the specific rule that does not collide with the rules of tax debt installment, which can be applied whenever the subject in tax debt has the initiative of paying the debts before any action by the tax authorities, even if the payment is in installments.
