    2. That taxpayer signs during the fiscal year an Internet access contract for his habitual residence .

      For the dwelling to have the status of habitual the requirements established in article 68.1.3.º of the Personal Income Tax Law , in its wording in force on 31 December 2012, must be met; and in article 54 of the Personal Income Tax Regulations , and, in particular, with regard to the concept of habitual residence, period of occupation and requirements for staying there, among others.

    Note: In no case should Internet access contracts be linked to an economic activity.

  • 40% of the amount of the above expenses for those taxpayers in which, meeting the required conditions, any of the following circumstances occur:

    1. That they are young people who constitute single-parent family units .

    The single-parent family unit is the one defined in article 82.1.2 of the Income Tax Law , which is discussed in Chapter 2 of Part 1 of this Manual.

    2. Have your habitual residence in one of the small municipalities of La Rioja that are listed in the corresponding section at the end of the autonomous deductions of this Autonomous Community.

  • When the circumstances required in the previous point do not occur during the entire tax period, the percentage of 40% will be applicable to the amounts paid during the part of the period in which any of them occur.

Temporal scope of application of the deduction

This deduction may be applied only once per dwelling and per taxpayer , regardless of the occupancy regime of the aforementioned dwelling.

Requirements for applying the deduction

In addition, the following requirements must be met:

  • The taxpayer must have the habitual residence under ownership or lease.

    Compliance with the minimum period of three years required to consider the home as habitual is only required in the case of owned housing, not in the case of rented housing.

  • The contract must be signed at least 6 months in advance of the tax accrual date and must be maintained at least until said date.

  • In the event that more than one taxpayer entitled to the deduction lives in the same habitual residence, the same will be prorated among all of them .

  • Under no circumstances should the owners of the contracts and the property be linked to an economic activity.
