One of the key moves by the Spanish government to curb inflation and rising prices for essentials is a direct 200 euro payment to every household earning under 27,000 euros per year. This measure is designed to soften the economic blow for families most affected by the ongoing cost-of-living crisis.
Because the crisis has strained household budgets, many families have watched weekly grocery bills climb steadily since the conflict in Ukraine began. The goal of the 200 euro aid is to provide immediate relief that helps cover basic needs and stabilizes household spending during tough times.

In addition to the 200 euro direct payment, the government has also announced a reduction in value-added tax on essentials, with the rate dropping from 10% to 5% on oils and pastes. These measures are part of fiscal support intended to ease price pressures for households. The Treasury has outlined the steps needed to apply for the 200 euro check and the authority responsible for processing the claim.

The primary eligibility criterion is income, with households allowed assets up to 75,000 euros while earning less than 27,000 euros annually.
