Arrears in maternity allowance must be attributed to the years they were due via supplementary tax returns

A retiree received retroactive maternity allowance payments in 2023, covering the period from 2017. The DGT has ruled that these amounts must be taxed in the specific years to which they correspond, rather than in the year they were actually received.

The question raised

Question posed: Temporal attribution of the aforementioned arrears.

The DGT's ruling

The maternity supplement is income from employment due in each period of the pension. When received in a period different from that of its due date due to causes not attributable to the taxpayer, the special rule of Article 14.2.b of the LIRPF applies. This requires the attribution of arrears to the corresponding tax periods through supplementary tax returns. Attribution by years prevents the application of the 30% reduction for irregular income.
