Requirements and other conditions for the application of the deduction

    • 40,000 euros in joint declaration.
  • The deduction will also be applicable, even if the disability does not reach the degrees mentioned above, in those cases in which the disability is declared judicially.

  • When more than one taxpayer declarant is entitled to apply this deduction, its amount will be prorated equally .

Quantitative limits of the deduction

  • The full amount of the deduction (224 or 275 euros, as appropriate) will only apply to taxpayers whose sum of the general taxable base and the savings taxable base ( boxes [ 0500 ] and [ 0510 ] of the declaration) is less than 23,000 euros, in individual taxation, or less than 37,000 euros, in joint taxation.

  • When the sum of the general taxable base and the savings taxable base of the taxpayer is between 23,000 and 25,000 euros , in individual taxation, or between 37,000 and 40,000 euros , in joint taxation, the deduction amounts will be as follows:

    1. In individual taxation, the result of multiplying the amount of the deduction (224 or 275 euros, as appropriate) by a percentage obtained by applying the following formula:

      100 × (1 – the coefficient resulting from dividing by 2,000 the difference between the sum of the taxpayer's general and savings taxable base and 23,000)

    2. In joint taxation , the result of multiplying the amount of the deduction (224 or 275 euros, as appropriate) by a percentage obtained by applying the following formula:
