Limits

This deduction will have an annual limit of 500 euros for individual tax returns and 700 euros for joint tax returns. These limits will be increased by 100 euros in individual taxation when the taxpayer is a person with a disability and can prove a degree of disability equal to or greater than 65%. In joint taxation, the increase will be 100 euros for each taxpayer with said disability.

Requirements

The taxable base for the period reduced by the personal and family minimum must be less than 22,946 euros for individual taxation or 31,485 euros for joint taxation.

Deduction base

The joint basis of this deduction will be constituted by the amounts justified with an invoice and paid by credit or debit card, bank transfer, personal check or deposit into accounts in credit institutions, to the persons or entities that provide the services.

In no case will amounts paid through cash payments give the right to make this deduction.
