Last Wednesday, the regulation on the control of pneumatic and semi-rigid vessels entered into force, which establishes a specific administrative procedure for the special register of operators of pneumatic and semi-high-speed shipments, so far regulated by the ordinary administrative route (Photo Pedro Seoane)

Approved Regulation on the control of pneumatic and semi-rigid vessels regulating a specific administrative procedure for the registration, processing and monitoring of these vessels and strengthening control by the units of the Customs and Special Tax Department of the State Tax Administration Agency

As regards the registration and authorisation of use for the activities of leasing, manufacturing, repair or reform of this type of pneumatic and semi-rigid vessels, the new RD introduces new simplified procedures: "provides a number of simplified facilities and procedures for this type of operator, such as the possibility of making a global application for the same lot of vessels (manufacture), or that it is the lessor or the provider of the repair service who makes an application for authorisation for use in favour of the customer prior to the start of the service, as the authorisation being granted from its submission (lease and repair / reform)."

It is expected that, throughout this week, new procedures will be published at the electronic headquarters of the Tax Agency and will be supplemented by a practical guide. ANEN will report on any new developments on the development of this new standard in a timely manner and will continue to work to ensure that everything that affects the activity of the recreational nautical of pneumatic and semi-rigid vessels has the most favourable regulatory treatment possible.

It is important to point out that in accordance with the single transitional provision of the RD: "The procedures initiated before the entry into force of this Regulation shall apply to the provisions of the Royal Decree-Law 16 / 2018 of 26 October 2018 and, in addition, to the provisions of Law 39 / 2015 of 1 October 2015 of the Common Administrative Procedure of Public Administrations."

This RD also strengthens the control powers of the units of the Customs and Special Tax Department of the State Tax Administration for pneumatic and semi-rigid vessels.
