ANEN presents the “dos and don’ts” that the national and international nautical sector should know after the exemption of the matriculation tax on recreational charter vessels came into force

The elimination of the matriculation tax on recreational charter yachts as well as on those used in nautical schools came into force last October , when the law change was published in the official state bulletin (BOE).

ANEN, as the instigator of this measure – with a collaboration of AEGY (The Spanish Association of Superyachts) and AENIB (The Association of Nautical Enterprises in the Balearics) have considered it absolutely necessary to prepare a Decalogue that lists and clarifies the requirements and conditions that the beneficiaries of the exemption should know and comply with.

As ANEN has been involved in the conception of the new normative right from the beginning, counting on the valuable experience and collaboration of Miguel Angel Serra from the Garrigues Abogados, Leon von Ondarza from Fuster Abogados and Mestre Abogados, it has acquired a profound knowledge of the new regulations. Therefore ANEN and the team of collaborators are in the best position to offer the nautical sector this practical  guide which will facilitate the access to the exemption and answer the questions that have caused most confusion after the law change.

At the  same time the Decalogue  will continue the debate started during the Charter Forum organized by ANEN during the last edition of the Barcelona Boat Show.

The Garrigues Abogados is currently preparing an English translation of the document. As soon as we receive it, we will pass it to our associates by e-mail. In the meantime you can find the original document here.
