Municipal grants for lift installation are not exempt from Personal Income Tax (IRPF)

A local council queried whether grants for installing lifts in buildings could be considered exempt income, given they are intended for groups at risk of social exclusion. The Directorate General for Taxes (DGT) ruled that they are not, as the call for applications allows for general beneficiaries and is not restricted exclusively to groups at risk of social exclusion.
