Example: Annuities for alimony for children

Don LDZ, resident in the Valencian Community, has obtained a general taxable base of 63,000 euros in fiscal year 2021. During said year, he has paid annuities for maintenance to his children in the amount of 12,000 euros, as provided for in the judicially approved divorce agreement.

Likewise, the taxable base of said taxpayer's savings amounts to 5,000 euros.

Determine the full contributions corresponding to 2021 knowing that the amount of your personal and family minimum amounts to 5,550 euros.

Solution:

Since you have paid annuities to your children during the year by judicial decision and the amount is lower than the amount of your general taxable base, the general state scale for 2021 and the regional tax scale must be applied separately to the amount of the annuities and the amount of the rest of the general liquidable base.

1. Application of the tax scales to the amount of annuities, base "A" (12,000 euros)

  1. General tax scale

    12,000 at 9.50% = 1,140

    Odds 1 = 1,140

  2. Autonomous scale approved for 2021 by the Valencian Community

    12,000 at 10% = 1,200

    Installment 2 = 1,200

2. Application of the tax scales to the rest of the general taxable base, base "B" (51,000 euros)

  1. General tax scale

    Up to 35,200 = 4,362.75

    Other: 15,800 at 18.50% = 2,923

    Installment 3 = 7,285.75

  2. Autonomous scale approved for 2021 by the Valencian Community

    Up to 50,000 = 7,152.50

    Other: 1,000 at 23.50% = 235

    Installment 4 = 7,387.50

3. Determination of the fees resulting from the application of the scales in both bases

Installment 5 = installment 1 + installment 3: (1,140 + 7,285.75) = 8,425.75

Installment 6 = installment 2 + installment 4: (1,200 + 7,387.50) = 8,587.50

4. Application of the tax scales to the general taxable base corresponding to the personal and family minimum increased by 1,980 euros

Given that the amount of the general taxable base (63,000) is higher than the personal and family minimum increased by 1,980 euros (5,550 + 1,980 = 7,530), this is entirely part of the general taxable base.

  1. General scale 7,530 at 9.50% = 715.35

    Installment 7 = 715.35

  2. Autonomous scale approved for 2021 by the Valencian Community

    7,530 at 10% = 753

    Odds 8 = 753

5. Determination of quota differences

General state quota (Quota 5 − Quota 7): 8,425.75 − 715.35 = 7,710.40

Regional general quota (Quota 6 − Quota 8): 8,587.50 − 753 =7,834.50

6. Lien on the liquidable base of savings (5,000)

State tax (5,000 x 9.50%) = 475

Regional tax (5,000 x 9.50%) = 475

7. Determination of full fees:

Full state fee (7,710.40 + 475) = 8,185.40

Full regional quota (7,834.50 + 475) = 8,309.50
