Vehicle expenses deductibility: exclusive attribution in IRPF, 50% presumption in IVA

A professional asks whether VAT and vehicle expenses can be deducted from their income tax. The DGT responds that in IRPF deductibility depends on exclusive attribution to business activity, while in VAT a 50% attribution presumption applies if professional use is proven.

The question raised

Question posed: Whether the Value Added Tax installments and the expenses associated with said vehicle may be deducted in Personal Income Tax.

The DGT's ruling

For Personal Income Tax (IRPF), fuel, toll, or maintenance expenses are only deductible if the vehicle is an asset assigned to the activity, which requires exclusive use without private purposes. For VAT, passenger vehicles have a presumption of assignment of 50%, unless a different degree is proven. Expenses directly related to the vehicle, such as fuel or repairs, follow the deductibility rules of the investment asset itself.
