Compensation for material damage resulting from a breach of fundamental rights is not exempt from Income Tax

A query was raised regarding whether a court-ordered compensation of 15,000 euros for a breach of fundamental rights is exempt from Income Tax (IRPF) under civil liability rules. The Directorate General of Taxes (DGT) ruled that it is not exempt, as the judgment pertains to material damage rather than personal injury.
