Local taxes in Elda
- Individuals (sole traders) do not pay the IAE business tax, nobody pays it in their first two years of activity, and neither do companies with a turnover below one million euros. Local IAE reliefs therefore only matter to companies above that figure.
- ICIO (building works tax): 3.84%, with 95% relief for new industrial buildings on industrial estates.
- Urban property tax (IBI): 0.968%, with solar energy relief also for non-residential properties.
- The town hall has frozen all local taxes and fees for 2026.

Frequently asked questions
Where is the Elda Tax Agency office?
In Elda itself. It is the office that also serves Novelda, Monóvar, Aspe and Monforte del Cid. Most procedures do not require a visit: they are done online.
What grants are there for opening a business in central Elda?
The Historic Centre Grants 2026 (Line 1), for businesses opened since 1 November 2025 in the designated streets: up to €20,000, or €30,000 for footwear and leather goods, first come first served until 31 October 2026.
Does a footwear maker selling to France or Italy charge VAT?
If the customer is a business with a valid VAT number in VIES and the shoes leave Spain, the sale is a VAT-exempt intra-EU supply: the invoice carries no VAT, it is declared on Form 349 and proof of transport must be kept. Registration in the intra-EU operators register (ROI) is required.
