• Tax Office (Hacienda): You must pay the "Impuesto de Matriculación" (Model 576) via the AEAT electronic office.
• Town Hall (Ayuntamiento): Visit the Madrigal de las Altas Torres town hall to pay the "Impuesto sobre Vehículos de Tracción Mecánica" (IVTM), commonly known as the road tax.

Additional documentation required

To ensure your registration in Madrigal de las Altas Torres proceeds without delays, ensure you have the following documents ready:

• The original German registration documents (Teil I and Teil II).
• The signed bilingual contract (keep at least two copies).
• Proof of payment of the IVTM (Road Tax) from the local town hall.
• A copy of your DNI, NIE, or Passport.
• The "Certificado de Características" issued by the ITV station.

Expert Tip: Always verify that the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) on the German registration document matches the physical plate inside the car exactly. When dealing with imports, ensure the contract explicitly states the odometer reading at the time of sale to protect yourself against potential tampering. If you are not fluent in Spanish, consider having a "gestor" (administrative agent) in Ávila assist you, as they can handle the DGT digital submission on your behalf, saving you hours of paperwork.
