Current position

Donations to Local Entities allow for the deduction under article 68.3 of the LIRPF (Personal Income Tax Law) if they are irrevocable, pure, simple, and made with the intent of liberality. In the case of assets, the deduction base is the book value or the Wealth Tax value. On the other hand, the 99% relief on the total tax liability applies to income from the promotion and management of social housing, including linked garages and storage rooms, but excludes commercial premises and subsidies for land acquisition.

The DGT's position remains stable regarding donations, confirming that the destination of the funds does not prevent the deduction. Regarding tax liability reliefs, the doctrine has specified the scope of the eligible activities, delimiting that the promotion of industrial land or commercial premises falls outside the benefit applied to social housing.
