How to Notify the Sale of Your Vehicle to the Revenga Town Hall (Downloadable Template)

When you sell a vehicle in Spain, it is not enough to simply sign the purchase contract. While the DGT (Dirección General de Tráfico) handles the change of ownership, you are also legally obligated to notify your local municipality regarding the Impuesto sobre Vehículos de Tracción Mecánica (IVTM), commonly known as the "car tax." This notification ensures that you are no longer liable for the annual tax payments in Revenga once the vehicle has been transferred to the new owner.

How and where to submit your notification in Revenga

To process this notification, you must submit a formal letter to the Revenga Town Hall (Ayuntamiento). You have two primary options:

• In-person: Visit the Town Hall's registry office (Registro General) with your original documents and a photocopy.
• Online: If you possess a Digital Certificate or Cl@ve PIN, you can submit the request through the "Sede Electrónica" of the Revenga Ayuntamiento website.

Additional documentation required

To ensure your request is accepted without delays, you must attach the following documents to the template provided above:

• A copy of your DNI, NIE, or Passport.
• A copy of the "Permiso de Circulación" (Vehicle Registration Document) showing the transfer of ownership, or the "Informe de Vehículo" issued by the DGT confirming the change of ownership.
• A copy of the "Contrato de Compraventa" (Sales Contract) signed by both parties, clearly showing the date and time of the transaction.

Expert Tip: Always keep a stamped copy of your submitted request (the "sello de entrada"). This document is your legal shield if the Town Hall mistakenly sends you a tax bill for the following year. If you receive a bill after submitting this notification, simply present the stamped copy to the tax department to rectify the error immediately.
