Royal Decree-Law 10/2026, of April 28, has been published, approving urgent tax measures and other support measures in response to the damage caused to victims of the DANA storm and other emergency situations.

Firstly, legal certainty is provided, in Personal Income Tax and Corporate Income Tax, to the beneficiaries of certain aid granted by the Valencian Community to those affected by the Isolated Depression at High Levels (DANA) that occurred between October 28 and November 4, 2024, so that they have the same tax treatment as the line of direct aid to companies and professionals especially affected by the DANA, regulated in article 11 of Royal Decree-law 6/2024, of November 5, which adopts urgent measures to respond to the damage caused by the Isolated Depression at High Levels (DANA) in different municipalities between October 28 and November 4, 2024, given the similarity between both aids. Furthermore, in relation to said DANA, the IRPF establishes the exemption of aid paid by private non-profit entities to individuals affected by said DANA.

Secondly, amounts paid by the Catholic Church to victims of sexual abuse are declared exempt from personal income tax.
