- Spain’s Directorate-General for Taxation (DGT) clarified that exchanging fiat for cryptocurrency and crypto-to-crypto exchanges are VAT-exempt financial services, following EU case law.
- Outsourced payment services are only VAT-exempt if the provider performs the essential payment functions and assumes responsibility for the transactions; otherwise, such services are taxable.
- For the plastic packaging tax, the tax base is determined by the weight of non-recycled plastic, and recycled content certificates may be used to support the calculation.
