TPA – VAT Exemptions for Yachts

Operating or refitting a nonEU yacht within Spanish waters can qualify for Temporary Admission (TPA) and thus for VAT exemption — but only when handled with precision and full compliance.

Why TPA Matters

For nonEU flagged vessels operating temporarily in Spain, TPA provides a clear, compliant path to avoid unnecessary VAT charges on yard work, spare parts and related services.

Without correct coordination, these exemptions can be lost — or worse, lead to administrative penalties.

Our dedicated TPA team ensures all correspondence with customs is precise, every form is filed correctly, and your yacht’s status remains protected from entry to departure.

Strategic Oversight, Practical Execution

We act as the single point of coordination between owners, captains, customs and shipyards, managing all operational aspects of the exemption.

Each TPA case is tracked individually, with full documentation, transparency and updates provided throughout the procedure.
