What taxes does a Caravan pay?

We can define the taxes that a caravan pays in what are necessary at the time of registering it and those that are necessary once the vehicle is already registered.

Taxes when purchasing the vehicle

 

VAT

The VAT or Value Added Tax is paid as long as the vehicle is new, and if the vehicle is second-hand and comes from an import and the invoice does not show REBU VAT, we will have to pay it as well.

There are exemptions for reduced mobility, check with your community administration.

VAT REBU

The REBU VAT is calculated on the difference between the purchase and the sale. Therefore, if we have had a capital gain between the purchase and the sale, the 21% is applied to this capital gain.

It depends on how the seller makes the invoice to us so that it has VAT REBU or not. In turn, this will depend on how the vehicle has been acquired by it.

If we acquire the second-hand vehicle from a professional in Spain who in turn also bought it from a private individual, this vehicle will also have a VAT REBU.

TAX FOR TRANSMISSION OF SECOND HAND VEHICLES

If the caravan is second-hand and the sale is made between individuals, a tax will be charged, calculated on the sale value that depends on each Autonomous Community. In Madrid it is the 4% of the sale price between individuals.

REGISTRATION

At the time of registering the vehicle we have another tax, but at a very low cost compared to VAT, due to traffic procedures to register the caravan.

 

Taxes once the vehicle is purchased

 

IVTM

The IVTM, Tax for mechanical traction vehicles, or as it is commonly known "number" is the tax paid by all those who have a mechanical traction vehicle to their town hall annually. This tax depends on the characteristics of the vehicle and on each municipality.

IMPORTANT if a trailer has a load capacity of less than 750kg, you do not have to pay IVMT, this is not that the trailer has a MMA greater or less than 750kg, but rather that its load capacity, (Difference between TARE and the MMA) is greater than 750kg.

Many municipalities collect this tax without having to collect it since the vast majority of caravans in Spain do not exceed a load capacity greater than 250kg, and it is already a high value.

Other annual expenses of a motorhome that are not taxes but are mandatory if we want to circulate with it are Civil liability insurance and ITV (First at 6, then every 2 and from 10 years annually).

Good afternoon, I am studying the purchase of a caravan, and I have a question, which until now no one has been able to answer, I am in charge of a person with reduced mobility and I would like to know if I can request the reduced VAT of the 4% in the purchase of a CV new. I belong to the AC of Andalusia but I cannot find information about it. It can be requested or is only valid for vehicles.

Hello, I would like to have information about whether the caravans have to pay road tax if it is parked on the street in a secluded place so as not to get in the way and the owner would live in said caravan. And as the site chosen would be to avoid moving it, other taxes would have to be paid being the second-hand caravan and this will not be very big. I hope for information soon, thank you.
