What this is
The authorization for the establishment of an art gallery is a non-tax revenue collected for the issuance of an administrative approval allowing an individual or legal entity to create and operate a gallery dedicated to the exhibition, preservation, promotion, and commercialization of artworks. It applies to cultural operators wishing to carry out professional activities in the field of visual arts, including the display and sale of artworks, artistic creations, and cultural goods. This authorization enables the competent administration to regulate, monitor, and promote activities related to the art market, while ensuring the protection and enhancement of national cultural heritage. The payment of this fee constitutes an administrative requirement prior to the lawful operation of the activity and contributes to the financing of the State’s cultural regulation and promotion missions. This revenue falls within the cultural sector and is collected for the benefit of the State budget through the Ministry of Arts and Culture (MINAC).
