The tax office only requires a simple procedure to access this deduction for geographic mobility expenses
Hacienda has issued an important message for new civil servants who have had to relocate for work reasons. It is now easier than ever to deduct up to 4,000 euros in the IRPF for geographic mobility expenses.
The geographic mobility deduction allows taxpayers to subtract an additional 2,000 euros annually from their income as "other expenses." This benefit applies in the tax period in which the change of residence occurs and in the following one, up to 4,000 euros. For workers with disabilities, the amounts can be even higher.
Hacienda Makes It Easy for New Civil Servants: Here's How They Can Deduct These Expenses
To access this deduction, it is necessary to be unemployed and registered with an employment office. Before obtaining the new position, the taxpayer must have been registered as a job seeker.
The new job must be located in a different locality from the previous residence. It is essential to change the address to the place where the new job is located.
It is important to note that, for new civil servants, registration with the employment office must have been completed before the publication of the final list of those who passed the competitive exams. Additionally, the relocation must be a direct consequence of accepting the new position.
Procedure to Apply the Deduction for Geographic Mobility Expenses
Once the requirements are met, the deduction from Hacienda is automatically applied when filing the income tax return. However, it is advisable to keep documentation that proves the fulfillment of the conditions. For example, registration certificates with the employment office and registration certificates that demonstrate the change of residence.
Hacienda has simplified the process so that more taxpayers can benefit from this deduction. The current regulations don't establish a minimum period of stay in the new position or in the new residence, which facilitates access to the tax benefit.
Many new civil servants have welcomed this measure. It represents a significant economic relief when facing the expenses associated with a change of residence for work reasons. The possibility of deducting up to 4,000 euros in the IRPF is an important aid for those starting a new professional stage in a different locality.
