Geographical mobility tax reduction not applicable if relocation results from accepting a scholarship

A taxpayer inquired whether they are entitled to a tax reduction for geographical mobility after relocating to undertake a paid scholarship registered with Social Security. The Directorate General of Taxes (DGT) ruled that, as a scholarship does not constitute an employment contract, the requirements for this deduction are not met.

In 6 key points

How it affects those involved

Taxpayers undertaking paid scholarships that require relocation cannot claim the geographical mobility tax deduction, as the legal nature of a scholarship differs from an employment contract.
