None of the children has earned income, excluding exempt income, greater than 8,000 euros per year, nor has he filed a IRPF declaration.

Determine the amount of the personal and family minimum for both spouses under the individual tax regime and under the joint tax regime of the family unit for the purposes of calculating the state tax and the regional tax.

Solution:

Previous note:The Autonomous Community of the Balearic Islands has exercised regulatory powers in regulating the amounts of the personal and family minimum, increasing by 10% the amounts corresponding to the minimum for taxpayers over 65 years of age, the minimum for the third descendant and the fourth and successive descendants, and the minimum for disability.

Notes to the example:

⁽¹⁾In determining the increase in the minimum for taxpayers over 65 years of age, the minimum for the third descendant and the minimum for disability, the amount approved by the Autonomous Community of the Balearic Islands has been applied, which increases by 10% the amounts set in articles 57, 58, 59 and 60 of the Law of IRPF ^{(Back Minimum) (Return son) (Back disability) (Joint return)}

⁽²⁾The minimum for the taxpayer under article 57 of the Personal Income Tax Law is in any case 5,550 euros per year regardless of the number of members in the family unit. However, in the joint taxation of the family unit, the taxable base can be reduced by 3,400 euros per year, prior to the legally established reductions. See, in this regard, Chapter 13 above, which discusses the reductions in the general tax base and savings . ^(Back)
