Regulations: Art. 4.One.a), Four and Fifth Law 13/1997, of December 23, which regulates the regional section of the Income Tax of Natural Persons and other transferred taxes, of the Valencian Community

Deduction amount

  • 300 euros for each child born or adopted during the tax period.

  • 300 euros for each fostered in foster care with an educating family, emergency, temporary or permanent, administrative or judicial during the tax period.

    Therefore, for these purposes, the provisions of article 173 bis of the Civil Code will apply, which regulates the modalities of foster care, differentiating between emergency, temporary and permanent foster care.

In the event that the duration of the foster care within the tax period is less than the calendar year, as a consequence of the death of the taxpayer, the amount of deduction will be prorated based on the percentage resulting from dividing the number of days of duration of the foster care by the number of days that comprise the taxpayer's tax period (from January 1 to the date of death).

Note: For taxpayers who died before October 28, 2022, the deduction amount in the two cases indicated above will be 270 euros.

Requirements and other conditions for the application of the deduction

  • That the born or adopted child or, where applicable, the foster child meets the requirements that give the right to the application of the corresponding minimum for descendants established by the state regulations regulating Personal Income Tax .

    Note: For taxpayers who died before October 28, 2022 the sum of the general taxable base and the savings taxable base may not exceed 25,000 euros.

    Note: Keep in mind that although article 4.Uno.a) of Law 13/1997 mentions Law 12/2008, of July 3, on the comprehensive protection of children and adolescents in the Valencian Community, said law has been repealed by Law 26/2018, of December 21, on the rights and guarantees of children and adolescents, with effect from December 25, 2018.
