Family allowance per child paid by a university is not exempt from Personal Income Tax

A query is made as to whether an annual allowance of 1,200 euros per dependent child, agreed upon in a collaboration agreement for researchers, is exempt from Personal Income Tax. The DGT responds that it is not exempt because it is not a public-sector allowance.

The question raised

Question posed: Whether said family allowance supplement is subject to Personal Income Tax withholding.

The DGT's ruling

The exemption of family allowances requires that they be received from Public Administrations and that access to them be of a public nature. As the allowance is granted by a university to a specific group of researchers, it has a restrictive character. Therefore, the allowance constitutes employment income subject to Personal Income Tax and withholdings.
