Law 5/2014, of 24 April, the tax on income of individuals since the General Council in its session of the 24th of April 2014 has approved the following: law 5/2014, of 24 April, the tax on income of individuals and exhibition. Proof of income tax of individuals The new tax aims to complete the configuration of the Andorran fiscal framework in the area of taxation on income, once implemented the tax levied on business income, both individuals and companies, as well as the incomes of non-tax residents.

Although the tax system of the Principality of Andorra there are certain types of income tax levied figures obtained by physical persons-residents, such as the tax on income of economic activities or the tax on the capital gains on the transfer of real estate, it is absolutely necessary, to complete the task of providing the country a modern fiscal framework and comparable with that of other countries of the , to establish a global tribute that comprised the entirety of the incomes obtained by individuals residing in the Principality of Andorra.

The creation of a tax on income of individuals who understand under your fingertips all the income obtained by the Andorran tax residents is a result of the need to make the constitutional mandate under which all people have to contribute to the public expense, according to their economic capacity, in the framework of a fair tax system , based on the principles of Government and equitable distribution of tax burdens.

At the same time, this law constitutes a basic pillar of the process of economic opening of the Principality, insofar as it involves the creation of a tax on the income of natural persons is on par to the existing in other countries of its environment, the European Union and the OECD.

This tax allows the Principality have a tax system understanding of the full spectrum of income and tax payers which, either by their origin or residence, are under the fiscal sovereignty of the Principality of Andorra. The existence of this fiscal framework will allow the Principality placed in an optimal way for the signing of international agreements, in order to avoid double taxation; These are instruments that constitute an essential tool for attracting foreign investment in our country and to internationalize the Andorran company.

The purpose of approval that must serve as a basis for signing the agreements would not be possible without the existence of a law such as this, which creates a tax and, at the same time, allows us to establish a fiscal framework in the field of direct taxation, on a par with those of the most advanced countries in the world.

II. Guiding principles and structure of the tax As it has already been advanced, an income tax of individuals that aspire to be comparable with those of the most advanced countries of the world must be a tax with a global reach, comprehensive of all of the income that you can get the required tax law, regardless of their type and their source.

First, the definition of the subjective scope of the tax is based on the concept of "fiscal", as a determinant of the condition of forced consistently with the tax stipulated in the tax laws of most of the tax systems of most developed countries in the world. Secondly, the objective of the tax includes all the income that the tax must obtain both the generated in the Andorran territory as they are foreign source. Therefore, set up a tax burden on the "world income" of the tax obligation, including, therefore, the total amount of income you have obtained, in line with the model followed for the most part by the surrounding countries, the European Union and the OECD.

The tax has been conceived with an essential objective: ensure simplicity and clarity in its configuration, and avoid the creation of institutions or complex shapes that can introduce uncertainty of taxable and tax administration at the time to interpret it and apply it.

This dedication to simplicity is embodied in the way the mechanisms that reduce the loads of taxable, with regard to the management and to the fulfilment of their obligations arising from the application of the tax. In this sense, will minimize the situations in which the required tax is obliged to submit the payment of the tax, he moved this obligation the water absorbent and placed at the service of the latter, in relation to income from work, the tools that the Ministry in charge of Finance has to calculate the deductions and the Caixa Andorrana de Seguretat Social offers to pay them in front of the Ministry responsible for finance.

The income tax is progressive, in order to adapt to the constitutional mandate that people contribute to public burdens according to the contributory capacity. Although the tax rate is fixed, the progressive character mentioned is achieved through two mechanisms: first, the introduction of a reduction on the tax base on the concept of minimum staff that lets out a total of 24,000 euros (which increases to 40,000 in some cases) and other additional reductions to compensate for the family of the tax obligation; Secondly, a bonus for the income that is integrated within the general income. Therefore, the progressiveness is achieved with regard to the effective rate of taxation that is for the tax required.


The law contains a number of measures that are intended to be sensitive to the personal and family situation of taxable having given by its members of the family unit (taking into account the possible existence of situations of disability), or who have to deal with the acquisition of the property where you placed your residence, reducing the level of taxation in line with their situation. However the existence of a minimum staff of 24,000 euros for all taxable, it has been thought advisable to supplement this benefit with others that specifically requires the coverage of family situations that may lead to charges for the compulsory tax law; Thus, it is anticipated the increase of the aforementioned reduction of 24,000 euros up to 40,000 when the tax obligation has the spouse or the partner in charge, or the application of reductions related to the existence of descendants or ancestors that part of the tax, increasing the amount required if a situation of disability.

As already pointed out, this law has as one of the main objectives to create a tax comparable with those existing in other countries of the developed world. However, in order to achieve this purpose, the law is highly sensitive to the social and economic reality of the Principality of Andorra, and tries to reflect the particularities of our country, as well as to ensure the establishment of an attractive tax framework to encourage foreign investment and internationalization of the national company.

In the surroundings of the family-owned company, are the law certain measures aimed at ensuring tax neutrality for entrepreneurs who decide to organize its activity through the creation of a company; in particular, the aforementioned exemption of dividends from companies of Andorra. In the same way, in the transmission of shares in companies with a significant level of participation, the tax must be able to enjoy the exemption of capital gains when you owned the shares for a period of at least ten years. At the same time are considered exempt earnings and capital losses arising from the transfer of real estate located abroad where the tax must have held the property for a minimum period of ten years.

Finally, the Tax Law establishes a reduction of 3,000 euros per year for the income of the savings, in order to encourage small savers.

III. Fundamental aspects of the law on the structure of the tax is based on the separation of the two main sections: on the one hand, the general income, which includes income from work, the income from the realisation of economic activities and the income of real estate capital; and, on the other hand, the income of the savings, a concept which includes investment income and gains and capital losses.

Certain types of income are out of the burden for this tax, although technically you can try income included in the scope of the tax:-first of all, certain incomes they enjoy exemption and, therefore, not subject to the burden arising from the application of the tax, either for reasons of fiscal policy (for example, the exemption of certain grants or awards), in consideration of the purpose of compensatory income in question (certain compensation or payments derived from the obligation of food , compensation for dismissal or the termination of the worker), either for technical reasons (for example, the exemption of dividends of the Andorran background, which is justified by the need to avoid economic double taxation). At the same time, that would have been considered exempt some benefits met by public entities in application of social policies in force (pensions of widowhood, orphanhood, pensions, pensions for invalidity).

-Secondly, the tax on income of individuals let out of your field goal capital gains that are subject to the tax on capital gains on the transfer of real estate, which are recorded in accordance with the law regulating this tax.

-Finally, this tax is not levied the income to be obtained by the taxable as a result of the acquisition of property or rights to profit, either because of death or inters, or derive from their status as beneficiaries of life insurance when they are the decision makers.

The determination of the tax has as its point of departure the full amount of each of the types of incomes, which greatly reduces the expenses tax deductible; If necessary, we can integrate the net income in accordance with the said classification, and gives rise to the general tax base and saving.

The rules to quantify yields derived from the realization of economic activities are essentially matching existing ones under the force of the law which governs the income tax of the economic activities. For systematic reasons, it has been considered appropriate to transfer the regulation contained in the law on the tax on the income from economic activities to the articles of this law, although its content is material with minimal changes. The quantification of the gains and losses of capital is made, in general, for the difference between the values of transmission and acquisition.

On the basis of general taxation and savings, the scheme of payment of the tax is completed around the following concepts:-the basis of payment is obtained by applying the existing reductions to the law, when appropriate, on the basis of taxation. These reductions are essential, as are advanced, accommodate the tax burden for this tax at the personal and family situation of the tax obligation. Likewise, it establishes a reduction to encourage savings through the subscription of social instruments.

-The share of taxation is to add the amounts resulting from the application of the tax rate on the basis of general savings and settlement.

-The settlement fee is the result of a reduction in the share of taxation on the tax deductions and bonus provisions of the law.

• in this respect, the law includes deductions for jobs and for existing investments, in the context of the old income tax of economic activities.


• Enter a deduction to avoid international double taxation to mitigate the potential effect of the double taxation arising from the burden of the income tax, which forced the world may have been subjected to tax in another jurisdiction.

• the only bonus provisions of this law is applicable in relation to the payment of tax that comes from the base of general taxation, within a quantitative limit. This bonus operates as a factor which introduces progressiveness in the tax, and reduces the level of effective taxation for income that layered under a certain amount.

• Finally, the differential fee is the amount that the tax obligation has paid or has the right to receive, once deducted the payments on account of the amount of the settlement fee.

The law provides for a detailed regulation of the regime applicable to payments on account of tax, without prejudice to regulatory development need of formal aspects and procedures relating to this obligation.

Finally, included within the articles of the law provisions relating to the management and settlement of the tax scheme of infractions and sanctions, as a result of breaches of the obligations arising from this Act, and a provision relating to the court competent to determine disputes arising from the tax.

At the same time it has created a transitional regime, which aims to facilitate the adaptation to the Andorran tax system of those taxable with the residence permit without lucrative activity on the date of application of this law.

Formally the law is divided into 63 articles, 3 additional provisions transitional provisions, repeal a 4 and 5 final provisions.
