How the DGT's position has evolved

Settled doctrine High confidence 8 rulings · 2016–2026

Current position

Requested exemptions require an express application by the interested party to the Administration for their recognition. In the case of benefits for persons with disabilities, if the regulations do not allow for retroactive application, the exemption shall take effect from the date of the granting resolution or from the following tax period. It is not applied automatically.

The DGT's position remains constant in defining the requested nature of exemptions, always requiring an application from the interested party. The doctrine has extended from public university real estate to the IVTM (Vehicle Tax) for machinery and vehicles belonging to persons with disabilities. In the most recent rulings, the temporal scope of the exemption is specified when there is no retroactivity.
