Since april 5, all taxpayers must report to the Treasury and file the 2017 personal income tax return. From AYCE Laborytax we wanted to review those sections that are most important and we must pay special attention to them, but that usually end up falling into oblivion.

Boxes that yes or yes you must check well in the 2017 Personal Income Tax return before its presentation

This means that any tenant who lives in a rental situation and whose signature of the contract occurred before 2015,as long as the rent does not exceed 24,107 euros, can deduct 10.05% of the fees paid during the previous year.

#2 – Pension Plans

reduce the tax base, so it is important to ensure that the draft of the 2017 personal income tax return reflects this.

After the last tax reform, currently the maximum amount that can be contributed is 8000 euros,when this amount is not greater than 30% of the income from work and economic activities.

In the case of contributions from spouses, if they receive less than EUR 8 000 in income per year, they can also be deducted.

The same applies to expenses paid to a lawyer for the defence against a company, and with expenses for geographical mobility, if before starting employment you were registered with the employment office.
