How IVTM (municipal vehicle tax) in Spain is calculated
The IVTM (impuesto sobre vehiculos de traccion mecanica) is Spain's annual car tax, collected by the municipality. It starts from a state base table keyed to fiscal horsepower, from under 8 CV to 20 CV and above.
Each town multiplies that base by a coefficient of up to two, so the same car costs up to twice as much in a big city as in a small one. Pick the minimum, a middling or the maximum coefficient from the dropdown, or enter the exact one from your ayuntamiento's ordenanza fiscal. Electric and eco vehicles often get bonuses of up to 75%. Estimate, not tax advice.

Every computed row comes from the engine, run on the inputs above. Rows marked ✓ pinned are also fixed by a published self-test, so a change to the model that moved them would fail its own tests.
Frequently asked questions
How much is IVTM for a 9 CV car?
The state base for 8-11.99 CV is 34.08 EUR; a city applying the maximum x2 coefficient charges about 68 EUR. Set your town's coefficient to refine it.
Why does IVTM vary by town?
The base amount is national, but each municipality multiplies it by a coefficient up to two, so the tax differs between towns for the same car.
Are electric cars cheaper?
Many municipalities grant a bonification of up to 75% for electric and low-emission cars; check your town's ordinance.
