This is what you would save on income if you were not Catalan

by time news

Catalonia continued to be the autonomous community in 2021 that had the most expensive income tax for taxpayers with gross wages of between 20.000 i 30.000 euros.

This is stated in this year’s 2022 edition of the study Panorama of the Autonomous and Foral Taxation, filed March 23 by Register of Tax Advisory Economists (Reaf), which is the specialized body for taxation of the General Council of Economists of Spain.

As in previous editions, the report highlights the unbeatable role of Madrid, as the cheapest personal income tax for almost all income brackets.

The examples on the regional personal income tax included in the report are based on the assumption of one single and childless taxpayer, under the age of 65 and without a disability or any other personal circumstance that could entitle him to a state or regional deduction. In this case, the taxpayer only gets income from work.

IRPF: Taxation of a salary of 20,000 euros


From here, the examples show that a Catalan worker or pensioner with a gross salary of 20,000 euros is taxed on income tax. 243 euros more than a similar taxpayer in any of the three territories of the Basque Country, which have the cheapest personal income tax in this case. For the example of one Catalan taxpayer with a salary of 30,000 eurosthe difference is 358 euros more tax than Madridwhich in this case occupies the opposite end.

The difference between the most expensive and the cheapest community is approaching 45,000 euros if we compare the case of a Valencian taxpayer with income from work of 600,000 euros, compared to a similar one in Madrid.
