For expenses of descendants in centers from zero to three years

Regulations: Art. 14 bis Revised text of the legal provisions of the Principality of Asturias on taxes transferred by the State, approved by Legislative Decree 2/2014, of October 22

A. In general

Amount and maximum limit of the deduction

• 15 percent of the amounts paid in the tax period for expenses of descendants in centers from zero to three years of age.

• The maximum amount of the deduction will be 500 euros per year for each descendant who does not exceed the aforementioned age.

  The maximum deduction limit established for each child must be applied individually to each of them.

  As regards the justification of the amounts paid, this may be done by means of an invoice or any other means of legal or economic transactions permitted by law.

• The amount of the deduction must be reduced , for each descendant, by the amount corresponding to the aid received in the tax period from the Principality of Asturias associated with the expenses generated by the care of children from zero to three years of age.

Specific requirement

That the sum of the general and savings tax bases in boxes [0435 ] and [0460] of the declaration, does not exceed the following amounts:

• - 26,000 euros in individual taxation.

• - 37,000 euros in joint taxation.

B. For taxpayers with habitual residence in municipalities at risk of depopulation

Amount and maximum limit of the deduction

• 30 percent of the amounts paid in the tax period for expenses of descendants in centers from zero to three years old.

• The maximum amount of the deduction will be 1,000 euros per year for each descendant who does not exceed the aforementioned age.

  This increased percentage and limit will be applied depending on whether the municipality at risk of depopulation is the habitual residence of the taxpayer in the year in which the deduction is applicable, regardless of whether said residence is not subsequently maintained.

  As for habitual residence, this will be determined based on the criteria defined in article 9 of the Personal Income Tax Law , in relation to the council that gives the right to apply the tax benefit.

  In accordance with the above, the taxpayer must apply to the total amounts paid in the year for each child, the percentage and the maximum limit of the deduction corresponding to the place where, according to the criteria defined in article 9 of the Income Tax Law, is considered to have been his/her tax residence during the year. Thus, if by applying the aforementioned criteria, during the year the taxpayer has resided in the municipality at risk of depopulation, the increased deduction of 30% will be applied with a limit of 1,000 euros for each descendant who is not older than 3 years of age. Otherwise, that is, if the taxpayer has had his habitual residence in another location in the Principality of Asturias that is not considered a municipality at risk of depopulation, the percentage of 15% will be applied with a limit of 500 euros.

  Note: Those municipalities with a population of up to 20,000 inhabitants will be considered to be at risk of depopulation, provided that the population has been reduced by at least 10% since 2000.

  The municipalities at risk of depopulation in 2022 provided by the Autonomous Community of the Principality of Asturias can be accessed through the following link: " Councils at risk of depopulation ".

• The amount of the deduction must be reduced , for each descendant, by the amount corresponding to the aid received in the tax period from the Principality of Asturias associated with the expenses generated by the care of children from zero to three years of age.

Other common requirements and conditions for the application of the deduction

• That the parents, adopters, or guardians live with the minor.

  This deduction will also be applicable in the cases of foster care .

  To determine compliance with the cohabitation requirement , this must be determined on the date of accrual of the tax .

  In the case of shared custody and care, both parents can apply the deduction as long as they justify having incurred the expense even if there is no effective cohabitation on the accrual date.

• When there is more than one taxpayer entitled to apply the deduction, the amount of the deduction be prorated equally in the declaration of each of them.

  Whenever both parents or guardians live with the minor, the amounts paid will be prorated between them , even if only one has the right to apply the deduction because the other has a taxable income greater than 35,000 euros.

  Likewise the amounts paid will be prorated among them, even if they have only been paid by one of them .

• Specialty: tax period in which the minor turns three years old.

  The deduction (15 or 30 percent) and the limit on it (500 euros or 1,000 euros) in the tax period in which the minor turns three years old will be calculated in a proportional manner to the number of months in which the requirements indicated in the following section are met.

  To determine the number of months in which the requirements are met, the month in which the minor turns three years old must be counted .

  If the taxpayer's death had occurred in the year and the descendant had turned three years old before the same , the deduction will be apportioned based on the number of months in which the minor was under 3 years old according to the proportion represented by the months in which this circumstance occurs with respect to the months of duration of the tax period (from January 1 to the date of death), including the month of the taxpayer's death.

  Likewise, the deduction will apply in the event of death of the descendant prior to the accrual of tax .

Incompatibility

This deduction is incompatible with the deduction “For the care of descendants or adopted children up to 25 years of age” provided for in article 14 duodecies of the consolidated text.

The incompatibility between both deductions must be determined by each taxpayer, and will be effective with respect to the same descendants.
