30% reduction for death or disability benefits may apply if imputed to a single tax period

A local council has enquired whether payments made to workers due to death or disability are subject to Income Tax (IRPF) withholding and whether the reduction for irregular income can be applied. The Directorate General for Taxes (DGT) clarifies that these benefits constitute employment income, except for those intended to cover health expenses not covered by Social Security. Furthermore, any funeral benefits exceeding actual expenses are classified as irregular income.
