The Spanish Congress of Deputies approves the elimination of Matriculation Tax for leisure boats that are operated for charter

The Spanish Congress of Deputies approved yesterday the “Proyecto de Ley por la que se establecen determinadas medidas en materia de fiscalidad medioambiental y se adoptan otras medidas tributarias y financieras. (621/000047).” This means a huge step for the Spanish marine industry, since it includes eliminating Matriculation Tax for new or used boats that are used exclusively for charter over 15m. in length and for sailing schools. We expect that the final text is published in a couple of weeks.
