Estimate based on the byelaws and DGT criteria checked on 15 October 2026. The byelaw in force and, for the label, the DGT number-plate lookup have the final word. How we calculate
Málaga’s 2026 vehicle tax (IVTM) sets these car rates: €24.35 under 8 fiscal hp, €65.80 from 8 to 11.99, €138.90 from 12 to 15.99, €173.05 from 16 to 19.99, €216.25 from 20. An average car rated at 11.5 fiscal hp pays €65.80 a year and a large one at 17 hp, €173.05. The national minimum under section 95 for the 8 to 11.99 hp band is €34.08, so Málaga applies a multiplier of 1.931 in that band, within the legal maximum of 2. It is paid by whoever is the registered owner on 1 January, to the town on the registration document; in the year of first registration it is pro-rated by quarter. The byelaw provides 2 kinds of relief, listed in the table below.

A table by quarter
Málaga’s tax agency, GESTRISAM, publishes a 2026 table with four columns: the annual amount and the one due if the car is registered in the second, third or fourth quarter. It is the pro-rating in section 96 of the law already applied to each band. The amount for an average car, 65.80 euros, comes from a multiplier close to 1.93 on the national rate.
Relief is set out in tax byelaw no. 3, but we have not been able to read it in an official source, so the tool does not apply it: check with GESTRISAM if your car is electric or hybrid. What is clear is the roll’s effect on the street: Málaga’s zone checks whether the vehicle pays its road tax there.

Relief in the byelaw
- 75% for the five tax years following registration or conversion: hybrids (HEV), plug-in hybrids (PHEV), range extenders (EREV), battery electric (BEV), LPG, natural gas, solar and hydrogen; on application (at the latest within the fourth tax year after registration), with the vehicle's technical card (on application).
- 100% for vehicles classed as historic or at least 25 years old from manufacture; on application, effective from the year after the request (on application).
GESTRISAM also publishes the 2026 rates by quarter of registration (3/4, 2/4 and 1/4 of the amount). To get the relief you must be up to date with council payments and pay recurring local taxes by direct debit. The byelaw in force (since 1/1/2021) carries the same amounts as GESTRISAM's 2026 rates.
