  • Applicable bonus percentage: 25%

Spouse

  • Income derived from tangible assets in the Balearic Islands: 5,000

Joint declaration tax base (due to negative returns): 18,000

General full fee joint declaration: 1,800

Fee that corresponds to the declarant's income: 1,800 x 15,000 / 18,000 = 1,500

Share that corresponds to the spouse's income: 1,800 x 5,000 / 18,000 = 500

The sum of the quota that corresponds to the returns of both exceeds the general full quota, so the maximum amount to which the bonus can be applied will be its amount (1,800).

Declaring Bonus: 1,500 x 25% = 375

Declaring Bonus: 300 (*) x 10% = 30

(*) When the declarant applies the bonus on 1,500, the spouse may only apply the bonus on the remaining amount of the installment: 1,800 – 1,500 = 300

The amount of the bonus in joint taxation will be 375 + 30 = 405
