Statute overview

About this statute

Artists in public performances may stay in the General Social Security Regime during inactivity if they meet the required prior activity and earnings conditions, and they must request it each year in January. Sets withholding and account-payment rates on certain capital income at 19%, with a 15% rate for intellectual property income when the taxpayer is not the author, and a 60% reduction for certain qualifying income. This provision amends Spain’s VAT law by adding a new listed category of services. Certain registered film producers may claim a 20% deduction for qualifying expenses in Spain, subject to minimum spending and cap limits. This decree-law changes tax rules and social security rules for cultural workers, including artists during periods of inactivity.
