10.15.31. For habitually residing in a municipality at risk of depopulation

Amount

300 euros.

This amount will be increased by 120, 180 or 240 euros if the taxpayer is entitled to the application of the minimum for descendants established by the state regulations governing the tax for one, two or three or more persons, respectively.

Requirements and conditions

• The concept of habitual residence will be included in the state regulations governing the tax.

• When two or more taxpayers are entitled to apply the minimum for descendants of the same person, these additional amounts will be prorated among them in equal parts.

• The amounts of the deduction will be applied in identical amounts in joint taxation, without having to increase or multiply them based on the number of members of the family unit.

• The following municipalities will be considered at risk of depopulation:

  1. The municipality that is a beneficiary of the Municipal Cooperation Fund for the fight against depopulation of the municipalities of the Valencian Community in the budget year in which the tax is accrued or in the previous year by meeting at least five of the following requirements:

     • Population density. Number of inhabitants: less than or equal to twenty inhabitants per square kilometer.

     • Population growth. Population growth rate over the last twenty years: less than or equal to 0%.

     • Vegetative growth rate. Percentage that represents the natural balance (difference between births and deaths) on the population in the period between the last twenty years: less than or equal to -10%.

     • Aging index. Percentage that the population over 64 years of age represents over the population under 16 years of age: greater than or equal to 250%.

     • Dependency ratio. Quotient between the sum of the population under 16 and over 64 years of age and the population from 16 to 64 years of age, multiplied by 100: greater than or equal to 60%.

     • Migration rate. Percentage representing the migratory balance in the period between the last ten years (difference between entries and exits of population for migratory reasons) with respect to the total population of the last year: less than or equal to zero.

  2. Municipalities that, even without meeting the requirements indicated, belong to functional areas with a population density equal to or less than 12.5 inhabitants per square kilometer. The functional areas will be determined in accordance with the official data on territorial demarcations registered in the Registry of Local Entities of the Valencian Community, created by Decree 15/2011, of February 18, of the Consell.

Incompatibility

The application of these additional amounts will be incompatible, for the same descendant or similar, with the deductions "For birth, adoption or foster care", "For multiple births or adoptions", "For birth or adoption of children with disabilities".

Therefore, for the purposes of determining the applicable increased amounts, the descendants to be taken into account are only those for whom there is a right to apply the minimum for descendants and who, in addition, do not give the right to the aforementioned deductions.

Completion

If, according to the above, you are entitled to apply the deduction, you will check the box provided for this purpose. 

Additionally, you will enter the data requested in section A) and/or in section B).

Section A) will only be completed by married couples who have not opted for individual data capture to record common "descendants".

If, in addition to common "descendants", one of the spouses has other "descendants", the number of them will be recorded in section B).

Section B) must be completed when there is no marriage or when they have opted for individual data capture or when the descendants are not common to the spouses.

Within section A) it will be reflected separately in the "Individual taxation" and "Joint taxation" columns.

• On the first line: the number of descendants for which both spouses are entitled to this deduction, provided that neither spouse applies for these descendants any of the regional deductions for birth, adoption or foster care, for multiple births or adoptions or for the birth or adoption of a physically or sensory disabled child.

  To check whether or not these deductions apply, you can consult boxes 1083, 1084 and 1085 of the individual and joint returns.

• On the second line: the number of descendants for which only one of the spouses is entitled to this deduction. 

Within section B) it will be reflected separately in the "Individual taxation" and/or "Joint taxation" column.

  To check whether or not these deductions apply, you can consult boxes 1083, 1084 and 1085 of the parents' individual tax returns and, where applicable, in the joint return.

• On the second line: the number of descendants for which only one of the parents is entitled to this deduction.
