Call centre with no commercial activity must be taxed under IAE heading 849.9

An entity inquired about the appropriate IAE heading for a call centre (CNAE 8220) managing another company's customer service. The DGT states that, where no specific classification is provided, the rule for unclassified activities applies.

The question raised

Question posed: The taxpayer asks which heading of the Economic Activities Tax Tariffs should be used to classify call center activities, which corresponds exactly to CNAE code 8220.

The DGT's ruling

The activity of customer service through centralized and omnichannel management, without a commercial character, is not expressly listed in the IAE Tariffs. According to Rule 8 of the Instruction, unspecified activities are provisionally classified under the heading to which they most closely resemble by nature. Therefore, the company must register under heading 849.9, 'Other independent services n.e.c.', of the first section.
