General provisions of the Tax environment in common territory.

In general the benefits received from individual life assurances, wherever the beneficiary and the policyholder are the same person, will be subject to I.R.P.F. as income from capital.

The yield from capital shall be determined by the difference between capital sum received and the amount of premiums paid.

In all cases, the net capital yield resulting shall be applied to the taxable savings base, paying at the fixed rates of tax on savings of 19%.

Similarly, the Insurance Company shall be obliged to apply to the net yield arising from the benefits afforded, a retention on account of I.R.P.F., at a fixed rate of 19%.

Exceptionally, the benefits for disability following accidents shall be exempt from tax up to the amount that shall be legally determined, according to the degree of disability and the age of the disabled party.

The benefits derived from life or disability insurance contracts, when the beneficiary is distinct from the contractor of the policyholder, shall remain subject to tax on Inheritances and Donations.

For these purposes, the autonomous communities may legislate on particular matters relating to this subject, including the creation of deductions and reductions of their own.
