Regulations: Additional Provision Four. Twelve Consolidated Text of the current legal provisions issued by the Autonomous Community of the Canary Islands on transferred taxes, approved by Legislative Decree 1/2009, of April 21

Note: The conditions and amounts indicated below for this deduction will apply in the tax periods 2022 and 2023 , replacing those provided for in article 15 of the Revised Text. Therefore, this is the last exercise in which they will be applicable.

Amount and maximum limit of the deduction

  • The maximum amount of the deduction will be 720 euros per year .

In order to be able to apply this deduction, the taxpayer must pay amounts as rent for his or her habitual residence during the tax period. Therefore, in the case of marriage, whatever the marital economic regime, only the amounts paid by spouse who signed the lease contract will be deductible, without prejudice to the fact that such contract has internal effects between the spouses. See in this regard the Supreme Court Judgment No. 220/2009, of April 3 (Civil Division), issued in cassation appeal No. 1200/2004 ( ROJ : STS 2464/2009)
