Exemption does not apply to insurance compensation covering risks other than accidents

A worker inquired whether a €28,000 compensation payment for total permanent disability, arising from a collective agreement insurance policy, is exempt from Personal Income Tax (IRPF). The Directorate General for Taxes (DGT) ruled that because the policy also covers death by any cause, it is not classified as an accident insurance policy, and therefore the exemption does not apply.

How it affects those involved

The ruling clarifies that for insurance compensation to qualify for tax exemption, the policy must be strictly limited to accident risks. Policies providing broader coverage, such as death by any cause, will result in the compensation being subject to taxation.
