Also what is the annual tax for the average car, are larger cars taxed like engine size/ommisions.
used to be as in last year, i´ve scrapped the megane and bought a new car now.

It has always been around €50 for the last 20 years that I had the megane (1.6 petrol, alhaurin el grande) I think it went up to €63 at one point ?

My mums road tax was 160€ on her 2.5L petrol opel omega, also alhaurin el grande, but that was 5 years ago + it will be more now.

My partners seat ibiza 1.2 petrol is registered at her mums house in mezquitilla (velez) and she pays around €38-40 i think.


I have all our bills coming straight from the bank, so im not sure exactly, i would have to look it up.

At one time the tax in Riogordo was stupidly low, and hundreds of rental cars were registered there..

it was in the paper that some 20,000 cars hire cars were registered in torrox pueblo for the same reason. All you need is an address to give to them.

Hi all

I've found a car I want to buy, from a dealer, can someone tell me if the car tax will have been paid for the year, or if I have to pay (as in the UK, you get it taxed before you drive it away) - and how this is done? I believe you can setup a direct debit - does this have to be done at some office somewhere, or can I do it online? As I'm not a resident (I do have an NIE) I suspect things are a bit different...............?

Thanks in advance!

There will be answers about this in past posts...so search.....but from memory, the responsibility for paying rests with whoever owned it on 1st January.
The dealer should be able to help answer these questions, but you can set up a DD with your bank, but I suspect you'll need your first payment request which will be sent, usually (and confusingly), sometime in July (I think)

Thanks, so yes, come 1st Jan it'll be my responsibility then. I'll try and find out how I pay it - the Ayuntamiento has a portal for paying taxes etc but I cannot see anywhere to pay IVTM. You'd think they'd make this easy, but no...........
