Tax Advisor: Legislative Titles in the Community of Madrid: Tax Reforms and Deductions for the Fiscal Year 2023

The Official Gazette of the Community of Madrid on December 21, 2023, has published Law 12/2023, dated December 15, which introduces temporary adjustments to the bonus for the Wealth Tax in the Community of Madrid during the validity of the Temporary Solidarity Tax on Large Fortunes (ITSGF).

According to the amendment, from January 1, 2023, and while the ITSGF is in force:

  1. The general bonus for the Wealth Tax established in Madrid regulations (100% of the resulting quota after applying state deductions and bonuses) will not be valid.
  2. Instead, an autonomous bonus can be applied, calculated by the difference, if any, between:

   – The full quota of the Wealth Tax derived from the application of the joint limit established in Article 31 of Law 19/1991, of June 6 (income-wealth limit).

   – The full quota corresponding to the ITSGF, after applying the joint limit established in Article 3.Twelve of Law 38/2022, of December 27 (income-wealth-ITSFG limit).

 

In general, the application of this new bonus implies that ITSGF taxpayers in 2023 effectively pay the Wealth Tax, resulting in the quota to be paid in the ITSGF being equal to “0”.

Simultaneously, Law 13/2023, of December 15, has been published, amending the Consolidated Text of the legal provisions of the Community of Madrid regarding taxes ceded by the State, approved by Legislative Decree 1/2010, of October 21.

This law, effective for the fiscal years beginning in 2023, includes:

  1. A decrease of 3.1% in the scale applicable to the general taxable base of the Personal Income Tax (IRPF) for tax residents in the Community of Madrid.
  2. Increases in the minimum taxpayer, as well as in the minimums for descendants and ascendants.

The legislation introduces increases in the amounts and limits of tax deductions for various categories, such as the birth or adoption of children, the family foster care of minors, the unpaid foster care of those over seventy-five and/or with disabilities, the care of ascendants and children under three years of age, the rental of the habitual residence, educational expenses, the acquisition of the habitual residence due to the birth or adoption of children, obtaining the status of a large family (either general or special category), and investments in the acquisition of shares and social participations of new or recently created entities, as well as investments in entities listed on the Alternative Stock Market. These changes apply from the fiscal years beginning in 2023.
