Tax Deduction for Home Improvements: Who Qualifies and What You Get

Learn if your home energy efficiency renovations qualify for a reduction in your annual income tax in Spain.

This scheme allows you to lower your annual income tax through deductions related to making your primary home more energy-efficient.

Who it's for

This is for taxpayers who perform improvements to increase the energy efficiency of their primary residence.

What you get

You receive a reduction in your annual income tax (IRPF). This means you may pay less tax overall when you file your tax return.

What it costs you

There is no direct fee to apply, but you must provide official invoices from your contractor or plumber to prove the work was done.

The catch to know

The improvements you make cannot be for general maintenance; the work must result in a measurable reduction in the energy demand of your home.

How to apply

  1. Complete the necessary energy-efficient improvements in your primary home.
  2. Ensure you collect and save all official invoices from the professionals you hire.
  3. Include the deduction details when you file your annual tax return (declaración de la renta).
