Compensation from a collective insurance policy providing pension commitments is taxed as employment income

An individual suffering from total permanent disability due to a work accident has enquired whether compensation from their collective insurance is exempt from Personal Income Tax (IRPF). The Directorate General for Taxes (DGT) has ruled that it is not exempt, as the insurance policy is not exclusively for accidents and must be taxed as employment income.

How it affects those involved
