The tax

ITP on a used car in Andalusia

General rate

4 %

Only one region has a lower general rate, and 7 have a higher one.

It's paid on the higher of two amounts: what you pay the seller or what the car is worth to Hacienda (your version's new price in its tables times a percentage depending on age). The buyer pays it, in the region where they live.

General rate: 4 % (RDLeg 1/1993, art. 11.1.a)

Special rules in Andalusia

With over 15 fiscal horsepower, 8 %. (art. 47)
With the DGT Zero emissions label, 1 %, even with over 15 fiscal horsepower. (art. 46)

In 2026 a car replacing one deregistered after the January and February storms pays 0% in the affected municipalities (Decree-law 1/2026): we don't calculate this.

It's filed with the Andalusian Tax Agency, on form 621, within two months of the purchase.
