I wonder if anyone out there can help me. I am trying to find the Spanish law that states no IVA need be paid for literary translations. One friend cited the following:



* Disposición Adicional Tercera Ley 22/1987, de 11 de noviembre, de

propiedad intelectual, y

Ley 37/1992, de 28 de diciembre del Impuesto sobre el Valor Añadido



But then another person advised me it was:



Ley 37/9, artículo 20.1.26, epígrafe 774... See more

I see that this topic was touched on some time ago in this forum:

However, I am still not clear which law covers this area.



As I am not in Spain right now, I can’t phone up my local tax office. So, I’d be very grateful for any help with this murky area.



Thanks in advance,





Sheila
