Madrid (EFE) 84,201 increase in the number of declarations in favor of the Church.
This is how the Vice-Secretary for Economic Affairs of the Spanish Episcopal Conference (CEE), Fernando Giménez Barriocanal, has advanced this Tuesday, who has detailed that more than 8.5 million Spaniards check the box of the Church taking into account the individual declarations and the joint, which represents 31.29% of those presented.
The total amount assigned to the Church in the last income campaign, which refers to the 2021 fiscal year, stands at 320,723,062 euros, a “record figure for the system” and which represents an increase of 8.5% compared to the last year. On average, the contribution that the Church receives from each taxpayer is 37.73 euros.
The tax allocation supposes, on average, 22% of the financing of the dioceses, which in the opinion of the EEC supposes a progressive improvement of its own financing capacity by means other than the income statement, thanks to the increase from own collections, from the work of support offices in the dioceses, etc.
