How the DGT's position has evolved
Current position
Classification within the IAE (Tax on Economic Activities) Tariffs must be carried out according to the true material nature of the activities. Taxpayers must register in all headings that classify their activities in a differentiated manner and with independent treatment. In travel agency services, a distinction must be made between services to other agencies (755.1) and services to the general public (755.2).
The DGT's position has remained constant over time, focusing on the material content of the activity over its form. Rulings confirm that the coexistence of activities requires registration in each corresponding heading if they have independent treatment. No changes in criterion are observed, but rather a reiteration of the application of the real nature of the activity.
