2023 Income Tax and Wealth Tax Season

As expected, April has arrived and it is time to file the income tax and wealth tax returns. Specifically, the season began on April 3 and will run until July 1, the deadline to file returns for both taxes, unless you owe money and you want to direct debit the payment, in which case the deadline is June 26.

As in previous years, we have prepared this "special edition" of our Tax Newsletter, which summarizes the most relevant aspects to take into account when filing the Income Tax (IRPF) and Wealth Tax (IP) returns.

The new features introduced this season include:

  • For Personal Income Tax, modification of the personal income tax base reduction limit for contributions to employment plans and those that we might call self-employed plans; the modification introduced by some Autonomous Communities of the tax scale corresponding to the general personal income tax base; as well as the modification of the tax scale applicable to the savings base.
  • For Wealth Tax, restoration of the tax in Madrid, the option in Andalusia to pay this tax or the Tax on High Net Worth Individuals, and in Extremadura application of 100% relief on the tax payment for the first time.

We also wanted to mention the Solidarity Tax on High Net Worth Individuals (ISGF) which, as you know, despite being introduced as a temporary tax for the 2022 and 2023 fiscal years, has been extended indefinitely until asset taxation is reviewed in the context of a reform of the autonomous community financing system.

Finally, remember that accumulation products, such as investment funds, continue to be very efficient for managing financial investments, to the extent that they allow you to defer the Personal Income Tax (IRPF) payment, and they help reduce the Wealth Tax (IP) and Solidarity Tax on High Net Worth Individuals (ISGF) rate due to the application of the joint taxation limit.

Below, we summarize the matters that we consider most important in terms of filing the Personal Income Tax return corresponding to the 2023 fiscal year:

If you are required to file a Wealth Tax return, there are a number of matters that you cannot ignore. Among these, it is worth mentioning the obligation to file a tax return (or not), the assets and rights exempt from taxation, the valuation standards, as well as the tax liability limitation rule due to application of this tax's joint tax limit with Income Tax.

The Income Tax and Wealth Tax liability may vary depending on the autonomous community of residence. Therefore, it is very important to understand the rules that will lead us to apply the regulations of one or another community.
