Requirements and other conditions for the application of the deduction
-
The deductions resulting from the application of the previous sections will be reduced by the amount of the scholarships and grants awarded in the tax period in question by the Administration of the Junta de Comunidades de Castilla-La Mancha, or any other Public Administration, that cover all or part of the expenses that give the right to deduction.
When the expenses correspond to two or more children, the amount of the deductions applicable to all children will be calculated globally and will be reduced by the total amount of the scholarships and grants received by all of them.
For these purposes, it should be noted that the limits established for the calculation of the deduction are not applied individually to each of the children, but rather the deduction corresponding to the expenses incurred by all the children will be subject to the limit resulting from multiplying the individual limit established by the number of children who generate the right to the deduction.
-
For the purposes of applying these deductions, only the parents or ascendants will be entitled to practice the deduction with respect to those children or descendants who attend school that give them the right to the reduction provided for, in the concept of minimum for descendants , in article 58 of the Personal Income Tax Law .

Taxpayers wishing to benefit from this deduction must be in possession of supporting documents proving payment of the concepts subject to deduction.
The justification of the expenses that give rise to the deduction must be made, as a priority, by means of an invoice. This is without prejudice to the possibility of accepting other types of supporting documents (such as tickets issued by the retail trade) that, in accordance with the law, may have such character.

For the application of this deduction, the rules for the application of the minimum for descendants contained in the Personal Income Tax Law will be taken into account.
