How to Claim Exemption from Spanish Car Registration Tax in Barro: Downloadable Template

If you have recently moved to Spain or purchased a vehicle, you may be aware of the "Impuesto de Matriculación" (Registration Tax). However, under specific circumstances—such as being a person with reduced mobility, owning a large family vehicle, or qualifying for specific environmental exemptions—you may be eligible for a full or partial exemption. This sworn declaration (Declaración Jurada) is a vital document used to formally declare your eligibility to the Spanish Tax Agency (Agencia Tributaria) to avoid paying this tax when registering your vehicle in Barro.

Instructions on how and where to submit it in Barro

To process your exemption in Barro, you must follow these steps:

• Preparation: Complete the template below with your personal details and the specific vehicle information. Ensure the document is signed manually or with a digital certificate.
• Tax Agency Office: While Barro is a municipality in Pontevedra, administrative tax matters are generally handled through the Agencia Estatal de Administración Tributaria (AEAT). You should visit the nearest Tax Office in Pontevedra city.
• Digital Submission: The most efficient way to submit this is via the AEAT "Sede Electrónica" using your Cl@ve PIN or Digital Certificate. You will attach this document as a PDF within the filing process for Form 576 (Modelo 576).
• Local Town Hall (Concello): Note that while the Tax Agency handles the registration tax, you must also visit the Barro Town Hall (Concello de Barro) to pay the "Impuesto sobre Vehículos de Tracción Mecánica" (IVTM), which is the local circulation tax.

Additional documentation required

Submitting the sworn declaration alone is rarely sufficient. To ensure your application is successful, you must attach the following supporting documents:

• Vehicle Technical Sheet (Ficha Técnica): The original and a copy showing the CO2 emissions of the vehicle.
• Proof of Identity: A valid DNI, NIE, or Passport.
• Specific Proof of Exemption:
  • If claiming for reduced mobility: A certificate from the Social Services (Certificado de Discapacidad).
  • If claiming as a large family: The "Título de Familia Numerosa" card.
  • If claiming for professional use: Proof of registration in the IAE (Impuesto de Actividades Económicas).
• Purchase Invoice: The original invoice showing the transaction details.

Expert Tip: Always keep a stamped copy of your submission. Bureaucracy in Spain can be slow; ensure that you do not finalize the vehicle registration (DGT) until you have received confirmation of the exemption from the Tax Agency, as the DGT system is linked to the tax records and will block the process if the tax status is marked as "pending payment." If you are unsure about your specific tax code, consult with a local gestoría in Barro or Pontevedra to avoid costly fines.
