How the DGT's position has evolved
Current position
To apply the reduced rate of 10% for renovation and repair works, the recipient must be a natural person for private use or a community of owners. The construction or rehabilitation of the dwelling must have been completed at least two years before the start of the works. The cost of materials provided by the contractor must not exceed 40% of the taxable base of the operation.
The DGT's position remains constant regarding the requirements for the 10% reduced rate in renovation and repair works, as shown by the rulings of 2018, 2020, 2021, and 2022. No changes are observed in the material limits or in the condition of the recipient. The most recent rulings focus on the application of energy efficiency deductions and their specific exclusions.
