How the DGT's position has evolved
Current position
Contributions to Employee Social Welfare Entities (EPSV) reduce the Personal Income Tax (IRPF) taxable base in common territory under the requirements and limits of article 51 of Law 35/2006. The tax incentives specific to the Provincial Councils (Diputaciones Forales) are not transferable to residents of other Autonomous Communities. The reduction is limited to the lesser of the amounts provided for in state regulations.
The DGT's position remains constant regarding the application of state regulations for residents in common territory. Recent rulings confirm that provincial tax benefits do not extend outside their territorial scope, maintaining the separation of competencies between the Economic Agreement (Concierto Económico) regulations and state regulations.
