There will be a strict first applied, first entitled regime.
In the event that the applicant is a natural person, the points of sale may provide them with the electronic means that allow them to process the aid request. For it, they must have an advanced electronic signature certificate. Likewise, the interested party may appoint a representative to carry out the request and manage the
documentation, who must be authorized for this purpose (like a gestor).
What vehicles can benefit from the subsidies?
The cars that are acquired within this plan (and that can be up to nine seats) must emit a maximum of 120 grams of CO2 and have IDAE labels A or B (you can check them here); and C, ECO or ZERO of the DGT. It can be new or self-registered by the dealer this year and will not cost more than 35,000 euros (45,000 if it is Zero emissions or the beneficiary is a person with reduced mobility) before taxes. All technologies are considered: pure electric and with extended autonomy thanks to a combustion generator, hybrids of all kinds, hydrogen, combustion, LPG and natural gas.
In exchange, the car to be scrapped must be over 10 years old (seven in the case of vans), the ITV in force and must have been registered in the name of the beneficiary, or by a first-degree relative, for at least one year. Buyers of motorcycles – combustion or electric motorcycles with more than 70 km of autonomy – vans (with an emission limit of 155 grams of CO2 per kilometer), trucks and buses can also benefit from the subsidies.
Amounts of the benefits?
In the case of passenger cars, schedule below, you will find the help that corresponds to each vehicle based on its labeling. Initially it was said that plug-in hybrids with Zero label (with an electric autonomy equal to or greater than 40 km) would have 4,000 euros, but in the final wording it has been specified that it will be the same maximum aid as in the Moves II delivering a vehicle to scrap. Although in this second plan, the age of the car is seven years (for more than 10 in Renove 2020).
An equivalent discount of the brand must be added to the amounts in the table, with a maximum of 1.000 euros. In addition, another 500 euros are added in the following three cases: if the old car is over 20 years old, the buyer is a person with reduced mobility or the monthly household income is less than 1,500 euros.
That is, adding everything (state part and brands) and considering all the possibilities, the discount that the private or self employed buyer may benefit in the case of a ‘tourism’ vehicle will range between 800 and 5,500 euros.
Note: as with previous plans (PIVE for example) the state-part of the subsidy has to be included in your resident’s income tax declaration RENTA. More info HERE.
