Subsidies for specific expenses are taxed as business income

The consultant asks about the taxation of a subsidy for reduced contributions for self-employed individuals. The DGT responds that these aids are considered business income, and their temporary allocation depends on the purpose of the subsidy.

The question raised

Question posed: Taxation of the subsidy under Personal Income Tax.

The DGT's ruling

The subsidy received to finance economic activity expenses constitutes income from economic activity subject to Personal Income Tax. Its temporal allocation is governed by accounting regulations, and it must be recognized as income in the same fiscal year in which the expenses it finances are accrued. For the subsidy to be non-repayable, there must be a grant agreement, compliance with conditions, and no doubt regarding its receipt.
