Lower the registration tax: when and how much you save you

The PSOE had to regulate last Wednesday in the Senate and accept a transational amendment that suspends up to 2022 the increase in the effective enrollment tax from January 1 due to the entry into force of the European Protocol for Homologation of Emissions WLTP.

All political groups have made clear their position to the government: they do not want a registration tax and a rate to the use of the vehicle that serious emissions, the main concern of ecological transition.It has its logic, but the Ministry intends to eliminate the private combustion cars from the mobility equation, including plug -in hybrids and hybrids without taking into account the times of the industry or citizens.

The truth is that the PSOE, more than the UNA, in the end decided to put as an adalid of the temporary suspension of the ascent through a transitional amendment of the tax because otherwise, all political parties, including their governing partner andIts nationalist partners were going to throw the fiscal fraud law where the PDCAT introduced the amendment to withdraw the rise from the registration tax.

So now, what tax I pay if I'm going to buy a car?

Well, we have asked the experts in the sector to solve some doubts.

When does the suspension of the tax rise come into force?

The amendment will vote in the June 30 Congress.The suspension of the tax increase would be effective the day after its publication in the Official State Gazette (BOE), provided that it does not establish a specific date.

If I buy a car now, do I have to pay the tax?

Yes.As of today it is paid with the current regulation.If you give it to you today, the concessionaire manager will have liquidated the tax and enrolled in the car a few days before to be able to make the registration plates and give it to you enrolled..

If I buy the car today but I pay it in September, or if I pay it now but give it to me in September, what type of tax?

The registration tax is paid at the time the car is enrolled, regardless of when the purchase contract is closed.

Does the transitory additional provision have a retroactive character?

Nope.If you bought a car between January and July 1 or 2 of this year you will pay the registration tax.An additional transitory provision is not retroactive but leaves in suspension the rise in the rate.

In this case, the tax is not uploaded by the Government but that it takes advantage that, thanks to the WLTP, it generates more box for the administration: more than half of the cars sold in Spain increased at least 5% since January.

This increase, being consistent with the elimination of more polluting vehicles required by the EU, has been suspended in France and Italy at least 2021 by the economic crisis of Covid.If the VAT of the light or the hairdressers is lowered, why does the registration tax be lowered or suppressed until the market is recovered?Because it will close June with a drop of around 20% compared to the same month of 2019.
