  • Those who are an ascendant do not have annual income, excluding those who are exempt, more than 8,000 euros.

  • The ascendants do not file a Personal Income Tax return with income above 1,800 euros.

    • 25,000 Euros in an individual tax return.

    • 40,000 Euros in a joint tax return.

  • The personal and family circumstances that must be taken into account will be determined in accordance with the situation existing on the date of accrual of the tax (usually on 31 December).

  • When more than one taxpayer is entitled to apply this deduction for the same ascendants, the amount of the same will be prorated among them by the same parties.

    However, when taxpayers who are taxpayers of different degrees of kinship with the ascendant, the application of the deduction will correspond to those of nearest degree, unless they do not have annual income, excluding exempt income, greater than 8,000 euros, in which case it will correspond to those of the following degree.
