Incompatibility

The deduction "for illness expenses for residents on the island of La Palma" regulated by the first Additional Provision. Four of the Consolidated Text and this deduction are incompatible with respect to the same taxpayer , so that those taxpayers with habitual residence in La Palma in 2022 who have the right to apply the deduction for minimum personal, family and due to disability, they will apply the new deduction to all amounts paid for illness expenses during the year.

As they are different deductions, in the joint return they will be compatible with each other as long as they are generated by a different taxpayer . That is, if one of the taxpayers meets the requirements to apply the deduction corresponding to La Palma, the new deduction will apply while the other taxpayer meets the requirements of this general deduction for residents in the Canary Islands, this will apply.
