Information about VAT and E.C.

IVA (Impuesto sobre el Valor Añadido)

VAT is an indirect tax on consumption. In Spain, there are mainly three types: General (21%), Reduced (10%) for food, hospitality, etc., and Super-reduced (4%) for essential goods.

Recargo de Equivalencia (R.E.)

The Equivalence Charge is a special VAT regime mandatory for retailers (individuals or entities under income allocation) who do not transform the products they sell. It simplifies VAT management for them, as they pay VAT and the charge directly to the supplier and do not file periodic VAT returns (with exceptions). The rates are 5.2% for items at the general VAT rate, 1.4% for those at the reduced rate, and 0.5% for those at the super-reduced rate.
