When you purchase solar panels, you receive an annual reduction on your IBI tax for a period of 3 to 5 years. This means you get a discount on your property tax during this period, known as the IBI discount.
Since the IBI is a local tax, this reduction varies by region. Both the percentage of IBI discount you receive annually and the number of years you qualify for it depend on the region in which you live.
Below is an overview of the regions in Catalonia with the percentage of IBI discount and the number of years the IBI discount is provided.

Example Calculation
You own a property in Barcelona Ciudad, and the estimated cadastral value of your property is €673,435. In Barcelona, the IBI tax is calculated as the cadastral value multiplied by 0.66% per year. This means you would have to pay €4,444.67 in IBI this year.
;;Regio: Barcelona Ciudad
Number of years discount: 3
Percentage: 50%
This means that annually you receive: €4,444.67 × 0.5 = €2,222.34 discount. The number of years you are eligible for this reduction is three years.
The total discount you receive on your IBI is: €6,667.
