IVTM self-assessment in Valencia: pay the vehicle tax before registering (step by step)

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.
