Last July, Law 12/2022, of June 30, regulating the promotion of employment pension plans was approved, with the motivation of promoting complementary professional social security.
This rule modifies the Law governing pension plans and funds, and also introduces a series of changes, among others, to the Personal Income Tax Law.
The most relevant changes introduced by the Law to consolidate the enhancement of complementary social security in the business and professional sphere are:
- The creation of open Public Promotion Employment Pension Funds and Simplified Employment Pension Plans (PPES).
- The modification of the fiscal and financial limits of reductions for contributions to social security systems.
Increase in contribution limits and tax reduction.
From January 1, 2023, the fiscal and financial limits for contributions to social security systems will be increased by 4,250 euros, provided that this increase comes from own contributions that the individual entrepreneur or professional makes, between others, to Social Security Mutual Funds of which he is a mutual member.
This means that the mutualist who is a professional, understood as such who is registered and exercises the profession on his own account, and who makes contributions to Mupiti will be able to increase the limit of both the contribution and the reduction of the taxable base by 4,250 euros yearly In other words, the maximum amount each year will be 5,750 euros.
