Curmudgeon 135 Report post Posted May 11 I'm considering giving a car to my gardener. What paperwork has to be done (by me) to ensure that it's done properly? TIA Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then he has to register it? Am I liable until he does that? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would highly suggest that you go with the gardener to the recaudadora to verify that he pays the taxes and fees and that the transfer is completed. If not you will will be legally liable until that takes place. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They have a list of values. SunFan 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Curmudgeon 135 Report post Posted May 11 Thanks for the responses. That was exactly what I needed to know. I've been here 18 years but never done this before! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Curmudgeon 135 Report post Posted May 11 Are the taxes payable IVA on fair market value? I'm not sure he has any money..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RVGRINGO 1,959 Report post Posted May 11 Yes. As such, you may have to foot that bill in order to make the "gift". Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TelsZ4 667 Report post Posted May 11 Also it has to have a new sticker ..doesn’t matter if it has a current one, you still have to get a new one.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SunFan 151 Report post Posted May 11 Taxes are not as high as the IVA. They are on a sliding scale with a max of I believe 7%. SunFan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mainecoons 4,639 Report post Posted May 11 Also they will check and make sure there are no outstanding traffic tickets like those sneaky photo radar ones. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bdlngton 368 Report post Posted May 12 I believe if you imported and nationalized the car you will need the pedimento to sell it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
