# Removes IGIC tax registration type from non-Spain EU countries

## What’s new

Removes the `igic` value from the [type](https://docs.stripe.com/api/tax/registrations/create.md?api-version=2026-09-30.preview#tax_registration_create-country_options-es-type) parameter for all EU countries except Spain in the [Tax Registration](https://docs.stripe.com/api/tax/registrations.md?api-version=2026-09-30.preview) API. Previously, the `igic` value (Impuesto General Indirecto Canario) appeared as a valid registration type for all EU countries, but it only applies to Spain. The `igic` type and its associated options are exclusively available under [country_options.es](https://docs.stripe.com/api/tax/registrations/create.md?api-version=2026-09-30.preview#tax_registration_create-country_options-es) when you [create a Tax Registration](https://docs.stripe.com/api/tax/registrations/create.md?api-version=2026-09-30.preview). This change affects the following countries:

- AT
- BE
- BG
- CY
- CZ
- DE
- DK
- EE
- FI
- FR
- GR
- HR
- HU
- IE
- IT
- LT
- LU

For more information about managing tax registrations, see [Tax registrations](https://docs.stripe.com/tax/registrations-api.md).

## Impact

If your integration references the `igic` type or `igic` options when creating or reading Tax Registrations for EU countries other than Spain, you need to remove those references. The `igic` type remains available only under `country_options.es`.
