Collective agreement salary arrears are attributed to the year they become due, not the year they relate to

A query was raised regarding whether salary arrears from 2022, paid in March 2023 following the signing of a collective agreement, should be taxed in 2022 or 2023. The DGT has determined that they must be taxed in 2023, as this is when they become due.

The question raised

Question raised: Temporal imputation in Personal Income Tax (IRPF) of the aforementioned arrears.

The DGT's ruling

Income from employment is imputed to the tax period in which it becomes due to the recipient. In this case, the 2022 salary increase becomes due in 2023, the year in which the collective agreement is signed and its payment is established. Therefore, the temporal imputation corresponds to the 2023 tax period.
