Professional association fees are deductible for Income Tax if membership is mandatory and subject to a €500 limit

A query was made regarding the deductibility of professional association fees for Personal Income Tax (IRPF). The Directorate General for Taxes (DGT) ruled that, as employment income, these fees are only deductible if membership is mandatory, serves essential professional purposes, and is capped at €500 per year. As economic activity income, they must be directly linked to the generation of revenue.
