You can make your tax return more supportive

Between April 1 and June 30, the deadline to submit the income tax return is in force, a procedure that remains in force despite the declaration of the state of alarm and how it affects many administrative procedures. 

Fraternidad-Muprespa signed a collaboration agreement in 2019 with the Social Action NGO Platform. It is a state-level organization that brings together 33 non-governmental entities that work in favor of vulnerable groups and in the fight against social exclusion. Since 2002, they have been promoting this campaign called “X Solidaria”, which allocates the money raised to help thousands of people in vulnerable situations.

As taxpayers know,A part of the taxes can be allocated to activities of Social Interest, to the Church or to both purposes, if both boxes are checked. Choosing one, the other or both does not mean paying more or getting a lower return. 

"There are those who think that if both boxes are checked, 0.7% of the income tax is distributed between both, but this is not the case: if both boxes are checked, 0.7% is allocated to each of the causes, doubling the amount allocated to social causes. It is important that people who exclusively check the Church box know that if they also check the Activities of Social Interest box they would be favoring the development of social projects of NGOs linked to the Church Católica that also manage projects within the framework of the call for grants, and vice versa,” he states.Asuncion Montero, President of the Platform.  

For your part Natalia Fdez. Laviada, Deputy Director General of Prevention, Quality and Communication of the Mutua, highlighted that the amount collected is allocated to programs aimed at older people, people with disabilities, young people, women, families... and in general, to fight against poverty and social exclusion. This is what moves Fraternidad-Muprespa to join this initiative, which does not subtract and add for the most disadvantaged.”
