Taxes and fees in Alicante: what do I have to pay now?
Changed the amount of discount applied to net income from business. For workers whose net income from employment is at or below 14,047.50 euros, the applicable discount rises to 6,498 euros. That figure previously stood at 5,565 euros. On the other hand, when the net income from work falls between 14,047.50 and 19,747.50 euros, the deduction is calculated as 6,498 minus the difference between the income from work and 14,047.50 euros, multiplied by 1.14. The multiplier used before the new changes was 1.5. This adjustment marks a shift in how the tax relief is applied to middle-income earners, aiming to keep more take-home pay in workers’ pockets. As a result, a larger portion of wages receives relief within the middle-income band, making monthly paychecks more comfortable for many families and individuals in the region. The framework of the discount remains tied to gross income, yet the revised numbers reflect a deliberate effort to balance tax relief with fiscal considerations.

It is important to note that workers do not need to take any action to receive the new relief. the responsibility falls on the employer to update the tax status. The measure began in February and is retroactive to January. If a payroll update does not appear, employees should inform their employer so the adjustment can be applied. This change does not require workers to file additional forms or request a new tax status from the tax authority. Employers are expected to reflect the adjustment automatically, ensuring that payroll reflects the updated withholding rules.
