Trade a scrap car in for a new one

Brought this from another forum ( The get a new car and scrap your old one in, does the old one have to be a Spanish Reg or could it be a old UK car ? ) ------Has anybody done this in the last couple of months. Facts please, not the guy in the bar told me ? I think they are now on Plan Pive 9

No personal experience, but Google is my friend (as opposed to Our Tony Down the Pub on this occasion!) Plan Pive 8 has been extended: http://revista.dgt.es/es/motor/noticias/2015/05MAYO/0518Plan-Pive-8.shtml#.VytTx2596hc

It would appear that the trade in car has to have an ITV and you have to have paid the latest circulation tax. Furthermore, you have to declare the vehicle has been scraped with DGT - so in answer to your question, I'm pretty confident in saying the car has to be Spanish registered. 

Hope this helps

Further confirmation: "El vehículo a achatarrar deberá ser, indistintamente, de categoría M1 o N1, y estar matriculado en España" (the vehicle must be registered in Spain). From here: http://www.idae.es/uploads/documentos/documentos_BOE-A-2015-5377_PIVE8_99323a80.pdf articulo 4:2

Also, contrary to some views, you have to be a tax resident in Spain to qualify, the car most definitely needs to be Spanish registered. The governments contribution to the Plan Pive deal is taxable at your marginal rate 

Good Q&A here
