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

Deduction maximum limits

  • The deduction will have an annual limit of:

    • - 1,000 euros in individual taxation.

    • - 1,500 euros in joint taxation.

  • These limits will be increased by 500 euros in individual taxation when the taxpayer is a person with an accredited degree of disability equal or higher at 65 percent .

    In the case of joint taxation, the increase will be 500 euros for each taxpayer with said disability .

    For the purposes of applying the increase, all members of the family unit who have the required degree of disability will be taken into consideration, regardless of whether or not they have income and whether or not they have paid amounts that give them the right to the deduction.
