These are the possible reasons for not being able to log into the Taxpayer Administration Portal (TAP):

Taxpayers

  • You didn’t plug in your smart card reader or your reader is malfunctioning

    • Contact your smart card reader manufacturer or seller to learn how to check if the reader is operational.
  • There is an internet connection problem on the side of the remote server (500-type error)
    • Close your browser completely (both normal and incognito modes) and reopen it. Try to log in again.
  • Your certificate has expired
    • Visit a Tax Authority office to request a new certificate.
