Conditions for the application of the minimum for disability

  • The determination of the personal and family circumstances that must be taken into account for the application of the minimum for disability will be carried out taking into account the situation existing on the date of accrual of the tax (normally, December 31 or on the date of death of the taxpayer if he dies on a day other than December 31).

  • The application of the minimum for disability of ascendants is conditional on each of them generating the right to the application of the minimum for ascendants .

  • When two or more taxpayers are entitled to the application of the disability minimum with respect to the same ascendants, its amount will be prorated between them in equal parts.

    However, when taxpayers have a different degree of kinship with the ascendant, the application of the minimum will correspond to those of the closest degree , unless they do not have annual income, excluding exempt income, greater than 8,000 euros, in which case it will correspond to those of the next degree.

  • The minimum for disability will not be applied to ascendants when they file a declaration for IRPF with income exceeding 1,800 euros .
