How the DGT's position has evolved

Settled doctrine High confidence 25 rulings · 2014–2024

Current position

Renovation and repair works in dwellings are taxed at 10% if the recipient is an individual or a community of owners, the dwelling is more than two years old, and the cost of the materials provided does not exceed 40% of the taxable base. If this limit is exceeded, the 21% rate applies to the entire operation. Appliances and furniture are always taxed at the general rate of 21%.

The DGT's position has remained constant since 2014, maintaining the 40% limit for materials and the requirement regarding the age of the dwelling. Elements such as the consideration of kitchen furniture as provided materials and the exclusion of appliances from the reduced rate have been specified.

Turning points

    Clarifies that appliances are always taxed at 21% even if they are installed alongside renovation works.

  2. V1043-20

    Establishes that kitchen furniture and countertops are considered provided materials if they are incorporated into the building.
