   Rules for applying minimums for disability

  • The ascendants or descendants of the taxpayer must generate the right to apply the minimum for ascendants or descendants

  • The application of the minimum will not apply when the ascendant or descendant submits a tax return with income exceeding 1,800 euros.

    When two or more taxpayers have the right to apply the minimum, their amount will be prorated between them in equal parts.

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

  • The circumstances that determine its application will be carried out taking into account the situation existing on the date of accrual.
