For taxpayers due to personal obligation residing in any Autonomous Community

Law 22/2009, of December 18, which regulates the financing system of the Autonomous Communities of the common regime and Cities with Statute of Autonomy and modifies certain tax regulations ( BOE of 19), establishes in its article 47 that the Autonomous Communities may assume in the Wealth Tax, among other regulatory powers, those related to the determination of the exempt minimum.
