3. Deposits in checking or savings accounts, demand or time deposits, financial accounts and other types of account deposits

Regulations: Art. 12 Wealth Tax Law

The valuation of each of the account deposits will be carried out by the balance shown on the date of tax accrual (December 31), unless this is lower than the corresponding average balance to the last quarter of year , in which case the latter will be taken.

For the calculation of said average balance, the following will not be computed:

  • Funds withdrawn for the acquisition of assets and rights that appear in the estate
  • Funds withdrawn for the cancellation or reduction of debts.
  • Income made in the last quarter that comes from loans or credits. In these cases, the corresponding debt will not be deductible either. 

Note: In the event that there are several holders of the corresponding accounts, their values will be allocated in equal parts to each of them, unless a different share of participation between them is justified.
