Goodbye, FATHER (PADRE) program
The most important innovation is possibly changing the program through which the taxpayer could submit the Statement of Income.
Pension plans
Pension plans have been one of the products with more news from the fiscal point of view. Specifically, from this year, the taxpayer may be tax deductible to a maximum of 8,000 euros of contributions to pension plans, with the limit of 30% of the amount of the gross income of labour and economic activities.
In addition, the limit of the contributions made in favour of the spouses of 2500-2000 euros is also modified, as long as they do not receive income from work or economic activities that amount less than 8,000 euros.
Maternity
It is an aid imed at those working mothers with children under three years in their charge, whether on its own (autonomous) account or for others. The amount of aid is 1,200 euros per year, which may be charged in two ways:
- In full through the Income Statement. This aid is deducted from the tax difference, i.e. the quota that has to be paid to the tax system or what they will return. For example, if the result of a Declaration is to pay 100 euros and this deduction is applied, the Treasury will return 1,100 euros, result of subtracting 1,200 euros of the fee payable to the Tax Office (100 euros).
- In advance: those who wish may charge this assistance every month. To do this, they must fill in the form 140 of the Tax Agency.
Main Residence Rental
Only if your rent was signed before 2015, you will get a tax credit of 10.5 % of the contributed amounts, as long as your taxable income is less than 24,000 euros a year. However, the regional tax credits should be reviewed because we may obtain another additional deduction.
Donations
The contributions made to charity in 2015 will allow you to pay less to the Treasury, according to the association on whose behalf the donation is made. Specifically, for NGOs, the taxpayer may be tax deductible 50% of the same for the first 150 euros and 27.5 % from that amount, with the exception of those taxpayers making donations to the same association since 2013, who will enjoy a deduction of 32.5 %.
And these are only some of the many things to consider.
Owning some property involves knowing a series of annual taxes.
Specifically you have to pay property tax in cases of housing and IVTM in the case of having a vehicle.
Various life events carry a high tax burden, knowing the details allows you to make the right decisions and on time, with the savings that may result. Our online tax advisor, not only clarifies the doubts you have at any given time, but can advance you from future problems.
For example, receiving a property or money involves knowing more various taxes, such as Inheritance and donations. Perhaps you did not know the tax on the increase of urban land value (capital gain) is the most burdensome in case of receiving a property in inheritance? In most cases more than the inheritance tax in itself.
Another example, in the Spanish tax system there is a small tax virtually unknown to the public: the transfer tax (ITP) in housing rental and what the tenant pays. But isn’t the ITP only paid when buying a property? Nope, also in rent and it is so unknown that it is barely paid and the autonomous communities begin to claim it back.
