The 40% reduction on commissions cannot be applied due to failure to meet the irregularity requirement

A query is made as to whether the commissions of a director/manager may benefit from the 40% reduction in Personal Income Tax (IRPF) for having clients with more than two years of tenure. The DGT responds that it is not applicable because the commissions are received periodically and annually based on objectives.

The question raised

Question posed: Given that the clients have a tenure and loyalty exceeding two years, it is asked whether, for the purposes of calculating withholding tax, the 40 percent reduction of Article 18.2 of Law 35/2006 may be considered applicable to the amount of the commissions.

The DGT's ruling

The 40% reduction under Article 18.2.a) of Law 35/2006 requires that the earnings have a generation period exceeding two years and are not periodic or recurring. The fact that clients have more than two years of tenure does not imply that the commissions have such a generation period, as the right to receive them arises annually based on sales and profit objectives, being obtained periodically.
