40% tax reduction cannot be applied to geographic mobility allowances if received over several years

A worker inquired whether amounts received for geographic mobility following a transfer of workplace could benefit from the 40% tax reduction. The Directorate General for Taxes (DGT) ruled that this is not possible if the payments are distributed across different tax periods.

The question raised

Question posed: Application of the 40 percent reduction provided for in Article 18.2 of the Personal Income Tax Law to the amounts received by the applicant as a consequence of the application of geographic mobility.

The DGT's ruling

Compensations for geographic mobility are considered income from employment. To apply the 40% reduction, the income must be notably irregular or have a generation period exceeding two years. In this case, as the amounts are imputed over more than one tax period, the requirements for said reduction are not met.
