The Executive has backtracked and suspends, for now, the new tax obligation<\/strong> which would force all unemployment beneficiaries to report to the Treasury regardless of their income. According to the instruction issued by the SEPE<\/strong>, the measure is postponed because the subsidy reform \u2013 approved in May 2024 but in force since November 1 of that year \u2013 only affected the last two months of the 2024 fiscal year, making it impossible to require the full declaration.<\/p>\n

What changes this year?<\/h3>\n
    \n
  • \n

    No specific obligation in 2025:<\/strong> Unemployment recipients will not have their benefits suspended nor will they be penalized if they decide not to file their 2024 tax return.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    The general limits of personal income tax remain in place:<\/strong> Anyone earning more than \u20ac22,000 in annual income from a single payer (or \u20ac15,000 from two or more payers, if one pays more than \u20ac1,500) is still required to file a tax return, just like any other taxpayer.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Self-employed and IMV, no changes:<\/strong> Self-employed workers and beneficiaries of the Minimum Living Income continue to be required to file a tax return in all cases.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    The obligation is moved to 2026<\/h3>\n

    The Government maintains the intention that the declaration be mandatory for unemployment recipients, but the The first campaign affected will be the 2026 campaign.<\/strong> (2025 returns). Until then, the situation remains as it was: only those who exceed the ordinary thresholds will file.<\/p>\n

    Context of the reform<\/h3>\n

    He Royal Decree-Law of May 21, 2024<\/strong> introduced a new subsidy architecture that:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • \n

      Gradually increases the amount<\/strong> (now \u20ac480) and expands beneficiary groups.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      Allows compatibility benefit and salary<\/strong> for an initial period.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      It included the obligation to file personal income tax returns to improve income control and apply adjusted withholdings.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      However, the ten months during which the regulation was not in force in 2024 have led the Executive to postpone the measure to avoid burdening beneficiaries with procedures that would affect a very short period of time.<\/p>\n

      What beneficiaries should do<\/h3>\n
        \n
      • \n

        Check annual income:<\/strong> If they do not exceed the general limits, they do not have to file the 2024 Income Tax Return.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

      • \n

        Keep documentation:<\/strong> In 2026, tax returns will be mandatory, so it's a good idea to keep your SEPE certificates and any other sources of income.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

      • \n

        Ask questions:<\/strong> The SEPE and the Tax Agency will publish updated instructions before the next campaign.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        With this decision, the Government seeks to give legal security<\/strong> to more than two million unemployed people and prevent a lack of information from leading to sanctions or suspension of benefits. Meanwhile, unemployment recipients can breathe easy: This year filing your tax return will be voluntary.<\/strong>, unless your income exceeds the usual limits.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
