Subsidies must be deducted from the base for energy efficiency tax relief in housing

A taxpayer inquired whether a subsidy received in 2023 should be included in the base for a tax deduction regarding energy efficiency works carried out previously. The Directorate-General for Taxes (DGT) ruled that subsidised amounts must be deducted from the deduction base. Furthermore, if a subsidy is granted after the deduction has already been claimed, the tax situation must be regularised.

The question raised

Question posed: For the purposes of applying the deduction for works to improve energy efficiency in housing, the inclusion of the subsidy in the deduction base in the event that it is granted in 2023.

The DGT's ruling

To determine the base for energy efficiency deductions, amounts that have been or will be subsidized through a definitive resolution of public aid must be deducted. If the subsidy is granted in a period subsequent to the tax return where the deduction was applied, the taxpayer must regularize their tax situation to exclude said amounts from the deduction base.
