That they do not have annual income exceeding 8,000 euros, excluding exempt ones.

That they do not file a tax return with income exceeding 1,800 euros (except in the case of joint taxation with parents, which does not prevent the application of the family minimum for descendants).

- For the first: 2,400 euros per year.
- For the second: 2,700 euros per year.
- For the third: 4,000 euros per year.
