The regional government is collaborating in the tax campaign with a reinforcement of a dozen technicians and specialists from the Tax Agency of the Region of Murcia. These 12 professionals joined on Tuesday, May 6th, to assist both by phone and in person the taxpayers in the offices of Murcia and Cartagena.
This collaboration is part of the agreement maintained by the Ministry of Economy, Finance, European Funds, and Digital Transformation with the State Tax Administration Agency (AEAT) and will continue until the end of the tax campaign.
The Minister of Economy, Finance, European Funds, and Digital Transformation, Luis Alberto Marín, highlighted that this reinforcement has increased from the eight professionals in the past year 2024 to the 12 who have joined in the current campaign.
«This increase is an example of collaboration between administrations and reflects our commitment to the AEAT and, above all, our commitment to the quality service and attention that the citizens of the Region of Murcia deserve,» he emphasized.
Before taking up their positions, the professionals of the Tax Agency have completed specific training sessions in recent weeks on the key points of the tax campaign to learn, for example, all the deductions available to taxpayers.
A SCORE OF AUTONOMOUS DEDUCTIONS WITH A SAVINGS OF 21.5 MILLION
The Finance Minister explained that, in the case of the Region of Murcia, «the more than 700,000 taxpayers have a score of autonomous deductions that will generate an estimated savings of 21.5 million euros.»
«These are deductions with a strong family and social focus designed for the families of the Region of Murcia and for those income groups that need it most,» said Marín.
During the tax campaign of the past year, in fact, nine out of ten taxpayers who applied for any of the autonomous deductions were in the income group below 24,000 euros.
In this sense, moreover, the deduction that generated the greatest savings was for working women, which allowed a total of 20,700 working women to save up to 9.4 million euros. The deduction for school supplies, meanwhile, allowed 34,274 families to save almost 5 million euros.
And it is that, in this year’s tax campaign, three new autonomous deductions have been introduced aimed also, and essentially, at families. Specifically, one deduction for single-parent families and another for families to deduct language teaching expenses.
The third deduction that came into effect this year is aimed at combating the so-called digital divide and depopulation and allows taxpayers residing in municipalities with fewer than 15,000 inhabitants to deduct up to 30 percent of their installation and monthly fees for their Internet connection.
To these twenty deductions is added the reduction of the regional section of the Personal Income Tax, a measure that has been progressively implemented since 2019 in the Region and whose estimated savings for taxpayers will reach around 131.2 million euros.
