Severance pay may be exempt up to €180,000 depending on date and type of dismissal

The inquirer asks about exemptions on severance pay, reductions for geographical mobility, and deductions for the primary residence. The DGT clarifies that the €180,000 exemption limit applies if the dismissal occurred after 1 August 2014 and does not stem from a previous collective redundancy procedure (ERE).

The question raised

Question posed: Taxation of severance pay. Application of the reduction for geographical mobility in 2014. Application of the deduction for investment in the primary residence for the amounts paid in 2014.

The DGT's ruling

The 180,000 euro exemption limit for severance pay applies to dismissals occurring after August 1, 2014, provided they do not derive from a Collective Redundancy Procedure (ERE) or collective dismissal with a consultation period initiated before that date. The reduction for geographical mobility requires proof of the change of habitual residence due to the new job position. The deduction for the primary residence is lost as long as the property is not the habitual residence, and may be reinstated once said condition is recovered.
