How the DGT's position has evolved

Stable position Low confidence 9 rulings · 2014–2026

Current position

The registration of administrative resolutions to certify the urban planning status of a new construction or for the restoration of legality is not subject to ITP (Transfer Tax) and AJD (Stamp Duty). As these do not constitute preventive annotations nor acts requested by private individuals, the requirements for tax liability are not met. Therefore, there is no obligation to submit a tax self-assessment for their admission to the registry.

The sequence does not show a coherent doctrinal evolution on a single concept, but rather presents dispersed criteria on various scenarios of registry registration. Stable positions are observed regarding mortgage novation and the correction of registry errors, without a change in trend in the DGT doctrine on the matter.

Analysis based on 8 of 9 rulings with a stated position. Updated 29 September 2026.
