Exención del impuesto de matriculación de embarcación (boat registration tax exemption, Modelo 05)

Exención del impuesto de matriculación de embarcación (boat registration tax exemption, Modelo 05) is filed with Agencia Estatal de Administración Tributaria (AEAT). With Managora you do it 100% online: you answer a few questions, sign a digital mandato (power of representation) and we draft, sign and file your application for you. What we charge you: €150. Official tasa (government fee): No fee: neither the application for prior recognition (Modelo 05) nor the declaration without prior recognition (Modelo 06) incurs any tasa (official fee) with the AEAT. What is avoided with this procedure is the registration tax, which is 12 % of the vessel's value (11 % in the Canary Islands).

We request the prior recognition of the registration tax exemption for your vessel from the AEAT (Spanish Tax Agency), which is the step that must be taken BEFORE registering it. This is the procedure that allows a vessel intended for chartering to be registered in the 6.ª lista (6th list) without paying the 12 % tax on its value, and also resolves other cases requiring prior recognition. We verify that your activity fits the requirements, prepare the Modelo 05 with the business plan and submit it on your behalf; if your case does not require prior recognition, we submit the Modelo 06 and let you know before charging you anything. We notify you in writing of the four-year commitment: if the vessel changes its purpose before then, the tax must be paid.
