The 30% reduction on seniority bonuses may be applied if the requirements regarding the generation period and single imputation are met

A company inquires whether seniority bonuses (20 and 25 years) allow for the application of the 30% reduction under Article 18.2 of the Personal Income Tax Law (LIRPF). The DGT responds that it is possible if specific requirements regarding generation and imputation are met.

The question raised

Question posed: Application of the 30 percent reduction provided for in Article 18.2 of the Personal Income Tax Law.

The DGT's ruling

To apply the 30% reduction, the bonus must have a generation period exceeding two years, which requires that the bonus be linked to a minimum seniority in the company of that period and that the agreement establishing it also exceeds two years. Furthermore, the income must be imputed in a single tax period and the taxpayer must not have applied this reduction to other similar income in the five previous tax periods. The reduction must also be taken into account for the calculation of withholding tax.
