The Agència Tributària de Catalunya (ATC) has published the definitive register corresponding to the 2022 financial year of all vehicles that are taxed by the tax on CO2 emissions.
From September 1, people who are owners of one or more vehicles can check the details of the definitive registration and the fee they must pay at the ATC electronic headquarters atc.gencat.cat, by accessing with the NIF and registration (for a specific vehicle) or with digital identification, using the mobile idCAT or another digital certificate, to view all the vehicles subject to the tax of which you are the owner.
This green tax, in line with the environmental taxation promoted in Europe to fight climate change, taxes CO2 emissions from passenger cars, vans and motorcycles for their direct impact on the greenhouse effect and global warming, and therefore on people’s health.
Vehicles with direct debit will receive a charge on their account on 20.11.2023.
Vehicles that do not have direct debit:
This year, to facilitate more immediate access to the information letter, the novelty of being able to access it through the electronic channel from the Electronic Notifications of the ATC electronic headquarters is also being incorporated, without the need to be subscribed in the electronic notification. You only need to identify yourself with the Mobile idCAT or another digital certificate and you will be able to make the payment at the time of the letter through the various enabled means.
If, upon receiving the notification to pay the tax, any incorrect information is found, an appeal can be lodged by accessing the register’s consultation page (atc.gencat.cat/co2padro).
If the payment has not been direct debited, from the 1st of September you can pay by consulting the final register at the ATC’s electronic headquarters: atc.gencat.cat/co2padro (by card, charge to current account and Bizum); on phone 012, with automated payment; call the ATC telephone number (93 551 51 51); in collaborating financial entities; at Post Offices, and at all ATC offices and delegations, by appointment. You can also use the QR code that is included in the payment letter.
The tax must be paid by natural and legal persons who, during the year 2022, have had their tax domicile in Catalonia and have owned a vehicle (touring vehicle, van or motorcycle). Specifically, passenger cars and motorcycles with official emissions of more than 120 g/CO2 per km (and more than 160 g/CO2 per km, in the case of vans) and that have a higher toll are subject to it at 6 euros.
Legal entities without fiscal residence in Catalonia, but who, during 2022, have had an establishment, branch or office there and have owned a vehicle domiciled in Catalonia are also required to do so.
100% electric vehicles, mopeds, trucks or vehicles over 3.5 tonnes, coaches and vehicles authorized to transport more than 9 people (including the driver) are not subject to payment.
Vehicles adapted for driving by people with reduced mobility are exempt. Vehicles with historic vehicle registration and classic vehicles enjoy a 100% bonus on the full fee and, therefore, are not taxed either. Likewise, the owners of vehicles that do not exceed the 6 euros fee to be paid do not have to pay the tax.
Everything collected from the tax goes entirely to the Climate Fund and the Natural Heritage Fund, and returns to people through investment in actions to improve the environment; promote sustainable mobility and the energy transition, prevent forest fires and adapt forests to the climate emergency, conserve natural parks, restore marine ecosystems, and promote research and innovation to mitigate climate change.
