SUBSIDIES AND PUBLIC AID

a) When its obtaining is linked to a heritage element not affected by economic activity . Among other:

  • Subsidies for acquisition or rehabilitation of habitual residence (boxes [0299] and [0300] )
  • Subsidies for the repair of structural defects in the habitual residence (box [0300] )
  • Public aid for the payment of IBI (box [0301] )
  • Public aid derived from the Renove Plan for the goods in question (appliances, boilers, windows, air conditioning etc .) (box [0301 ] )

  • Public aid for the acquisition of sustainable vehicles (MOVES III 2023) when the beneficiaries are Personal Income Tax taxpayers who do not carry out any economic activity (box [0301 ] )
