Stable position Medium confidence 20 rulings · 2014–2024

Current position

The reduced rate of 4% applies to telecare, home help, day/night center, and residential care services under Law 39/2006. To qualify, these must be provided through concerted places, administrative contracts with prices set by the Administration, or through a linked economic benefit that covers more than 10% of the price. Hairdressing services invoiced separately are taxed at 21% as they are not included in the catalog of Law 39/2006.
