Other conditions for the application of the deduction
-
The habitual residence is understood to be the one in which the taxpayer resides for a continuous period of three years. However, the dwelling will be deemed to have had that character when, despite the said period not having elapsed, the taxpayer dies or circumstances occur that necessarily require the change of dwelling, such as marital separation, job transfer, obtaining a first job or a more advantageous job or other similar circumstances.
-
The concept of acquisition will be that defined in article 58 bis of Law 10/2017, of October 27, which consolidates the legal provisions of the Autonomous Community of La Rioja regarding own taxes and transferred taxes.
For these purposes, the construction or expansion of a home is considered to be the acquisition of a home, in the following terms:
-
Extension of a dwelling, when there is an increase in its habitable surface area, by enclosing the uncovered part or by any other means, permanently and during all times of the year.
-
Construction, when the taxpayer directly covers the expenses derived from the execution of the works, or delivers amounts on account to the promoter of said works, provided that they are completed within a period not exceeding four years from the start of the investment.

The best
-
The acquisition of parking spaces, gardens, parks, swimming pools and sports facilities and, in general, annexes or any other element that does not constitute the home itself, provided that they are acquired independently of it.

-
The concept of rehabilitation must meet the conditions established in article 55 of the Personal Income Tax Regulations , in its current version as of December 31, 2012.
-
When a primary residence is acquired after having benefited from the deduction for the acquisition of other previous primary residences, no deduction may be made for the acquisition or rehabilitation of the new residence as long as the amounts invested in it do not exceed those invested in the previous residences, to the extent that they were subject to deduction.
When the sale of a primary residence has generated an exempt capital gain through reinvestment, the deduction base for the acquisition or renovation of the new residence will be reduced by the amount of the capital gain to which the exemption for reinvestment is applied. In this case, no deduction may be made for the acquisition of the new one as long as the amounts invested in it do not exceed both the price of the previous one, to the extent that it has been subject to deduction, and the exempt capital gain from reinvestment.
-
In order to apply this deduction, regardless of the taxpayer who benefits from the measure, it is required that the verified amount of the taxpayer's assets at the end of the tax period exceeds the value shown by its verification at the beginning of the same by at least the amount of the investments made , without taking into account interest and other financing costs.
For these purposes, increases or decreases in value experienced during the tax period by assets that at the end of the period continue to form part of the taxpayer's assets will not be computed, nor will the increase in assets obtained by taxable events subject to the Inheritance and Gift Tax.
Incompatibility
This deduction is incompatible with the regional deductions "For amounts invested in renovation works on the habitual residence" and "For amounts invested in the acquisition or construction of habitual residence for young people" provided for in sections a) and b) of transitional provision 1 of Law 10/2017 discussed below, for those young people who had acquired or renovated their home before January 1, 2013 .
When the above circumstance occurs, the taxpayer will continue to apply the regional deductions "For amounts invested in rehabilitation works on the habitual residence" and "For amounts invested in the acquisition or construction of habitual residence for young people", which correspond, and the present deduction for investment in habitual residence of young people under 36 years of age cannot be applied.
