Toledo (EFE).- The Government of Castilla-La Mancha estimated that a total of 867,000 taxpayers in the region, 87 percent of the total, will be able to deduct around 122 million euros with the tax deductions that can be applied to the declaration of the Income of 2022.
This was stated by the Minister of Finance and Public Administrations, Juan Alfonso Ruiz Molina, at a press conference in which he presented the institutional campaign ‘Adding tax benefits’ that the regional Executive has prepared to publicize the new current tax deductions approved in the Budget Accompaniment Law.
Ruiz Molina has highlighted that it is a package of tax relief announced by the regional president, Emiliano García-Page, in the State of the Region Debate aimed, among other groups, at families with a new deduction for the acquisition of goods and services that make up the shopping list of between 200 and 100 euros that will increase for each child or descendants in charge of the taxpayer.
Plus deductions for textbooks and childcare
Likewise, the deductions for the amounts paid for childcare are doubled up to 30% with a limit of 500 euros.
The already existing deductions for the acquisition of textbooks and language teaching at all educational levels are also increased and the expenses for reinforcement classes or residence outside the home to study are incorporated, up to a maximum of 300 euros per child.
A new deduction may also be applied as a result of the increase in interest rates with an amount ranging between 150 and 100 euros to offset the increases in mortgage loans and for the acquisition of the first habitual residence.
For the business sphere, the new deductions represent 20% of amounts invested with a maximum of 4,000 euros, or for the acquisition of shares and company participations.
Deductions for areas affected by depopulation
The head of the Treasury has emphasized the tax relief aimed at promoting measures to face the demographic challenge, which are extended to more municipalities, as in the case of the deduction for habitual residence to municipalities at risk of depopulation and in intermediate areas, a 15 % of the full regional fee and 10% respectively.
To questions from journalists, he has detailed that 25 municipalities of the province of Toledo from areas at risk of depopulation are integrated, which would affect 13,500 new taxpayers, and another 25 municipalities from intermediate areas of various provinces -Toledo, Albacete and Ciudad Real- that affect 10,300 taxpayers.
In addition, it has pointed out that in the 2021 Income Campaign, 57,000 taxpayers took advantage of the deduction for habitual residence in areas of intense and extreme depopulation at a cost of 22 million, 814 taxpayers for the acquisition or rehabilitation of the habitual residence in rural areas, and 496 for transfer of habitual residence to more depopulated areas.
All in all, Ruiz Molina has specified that it is not a general tax cut, as requested by the opposition parties, but rather measures carried out “with a scalpel” and aimed at serving sectors of the population with less economic capacity and depending on your personal circumstances.
