In short: if you register a vehicle in Valencia province, before going to the DGT you must self-assess and pay the IVTM (the municipal vehicle tax) and bring the payment receipt. In municipalities that delegated collection to the Diputació de València (e.g. La Pobla de Farnals) it's done online, at the Oficina Virtual del Contribuyente, with Cl@ve or a certificate. The amount is prorated by quarters.

In person or by representative? It's online (with Cl@ve or electronic certificate). If you find it difficult, you can get in-person help at the Diputació's tax office (in Valencia, C/ Cronista Carreres 11).

Before you start, have ready: the ITV reduced technical sheet (it has the chassis number, fiscal horsepower and fuel) and your Cl@ve / certificate.

Steps (Oficina Virtual del Contribuyente)

  1. Go to dival.es → Gestión Tributaria.
  2. Menu "Servicio al contribuyente" → "Catálogo de trámites".
  3. Under "Mis tributos", open "Autoliquidación del IVTM".
  4. Click "tramitar" (Tramitación electrónica tab) and log in with Cl@ve or certificate.
  5. The first time it asks you to validate your contact details (email required) → Save.
  6. In "Nueva liquidación": Institution ADOR → IVTM row → "Autoliquidación".
  7. Fill the form from the technical sheet: chassis number (field E); registration left blank (no Spanish plate yet); registration date; type (TURISMO); fiscal horsepower CVF (field P.2.1); make and model (D.1 + D.3); fuel (P.3); emission type; service "B00 - Particular sin especificar". Period: from the quarter of registration to 31/12.
  8. Click "Calcular" to see the amount.
  9. "Guardar" generates the assessment (Nº IVTM…). Pay it with "Pagar ahora" (online) or download the "Documento de ingreso" and pay at the bank. Keep the payment receipt.
  10. Bring that payment receipt to your DGT appointment.

⚠️ If "Se ha producido un error" appears on calculation: it's usually because the session expired while you took too long filling the form. Log out and back in with Cl@ve and complete it faster.

Frequently asked questions

Where do I self-assess the IVTM in Valencia before registering the car?

If your municipality delegated collection to the Diputació de València (like La Pobla de Farnals), online at the Oficina Virtual del Contribuyente on dival.es, with Cl@ve or an electronic certificate. The procedure is under Servicio al contribuyente, Catálogo de trámites, Autoliquidación del IVTM; in the city of València it is handled by the Ajuntament. Confirm the competent body with your town hall; if the online procedure is hard for you, there is in-person help at the Diputació's tax offices.

Do I have to pay the IVTM before going to the DGT?

Yes. Before registering, proof of payment of the IVTM must be shown to the Jefatura Provincial de Tráfico (art. 99.1 of the consolidated Local Finance Law); in the municipalities that delegated to the Diputació it is paid by self-assessment. You bring the payment receipt to your DGT appointment.

How much IVTM do I pay in the first year?

Only the part of the year from the calendar quarter of registration to 31 December: on a first acquisition the tax is prorated by quarters (art. 96 of the consolidated Local Finance Law). The amount depends on the fiscal horsepower (CVF) on the technical sheet and on your municipality's coefficient. The exact amount appears when you press «Calcular» in the Oficina Virtual, before paying.

What details do I need to fill in the IVTM self-assessment?

The ITV reduced technical sheet: chassis number (field E), fiscal horsepower CVF (field P.2.1), make and model (D.1 and D.3) and fuel (P.3). The plate is left blank because you have no Spanish plate yet, and the period runs from the quarter of registration to 31/12. After «Calcular» and «Guardar» you pay online with «Pagar ahora» or with the payment document at the bank, and you keep the receipt. If «Se ha producido un error» appears on calculation, in one case we know of it was an expired session: log in again with Cl@ve and complete the form faster.
