Current position

To compute the limits of the obligation to file a tax return established in article 96 of the LIRPF (Personal Income Tax Law), exempt income must not be taken into account. The obligation to file arises if the exclusion scenarios of said article are not met, including those who exercise the deduction for international double taxation.

The DGT's position has remained constant over time regarding the computation of the limits for the obligation to file a tax return. Rulings repeatedly confirm that exempt income is not computed to determine whether a taxpayer must file a tax return.
