Example 1. Marriage with common children, residents in the Autonomous Community of Principality of Asturias

The marriage composed by Mr. ATC and Mrs. MPS, aged 57 and 56 respectively, have three children with whom they live. The eldest, aged 27, has a certified disability of 33%, the second is 22 years old, and the third is 19 years old. None of the children has earned income, excluding exempt income, greater than 8,000 euros per year nor has he filed a IRPF return.

Determine the amount of the personal and family minimum for both spouses in the case of individual taxation and joint taxation of the family unit for the purposes of calculating the state tax and the regional tax.

Solution :

Previous note: Since the Autonomous Community of the Principality of Asturias has not exercised regulatory powers in the regulation of the amounts of the personal and family minimum, the amount of this determined in accordance with the provisions of the Law of IRPF must be used for the calculation of both the state tax and the autonomous tax.

⁽¹⁾Regardless of the number of members in the family unit, the minimum amount for taxpayers is, in any case, 5,550 euros per year. However, in the joint taxation of the family unit, the taxable base may be reduced by 3,400 euros per year prior to the legally established reductions. See, in this regard, Chapter 13 above, which discusses the reductions in the general tax base and savings . ^(Back)
