The new fiscal year of 2026 begins with good news for thousands of self-employed workers, small traders, and professionals in the agricultural sector: the Ministry of Finance has confirmed that the 5% reduction in IRPF modules remains in place, as detailed in the order published in the Official State Gazette (BOE).

The 5% reduction in personal income tax (IRPF) and VAT modules for 2026 is maintained

 

A consolidated tax relief

The 5% reduction on the net income of IRPF modules will continue to be applied in 2026. This measure, which was already adopted in previous years (2020, 2021, 2022, and 2024), represents a direct relief for those who pay taxes under the objective estimation regime.

This taxation model is applied in key sectors of the economy, such as:

  • Agriculture and livestock

  • Transport

  • Retail trade

  • Part of the agri-food sector

With this continuity, the Ministry of Finance aims to provide stability to self-employed workers under this system, favoring their tax planning and ensuring a positive impact on their economy.

VAT: continuity in the special simplified regime

In addition to IRPF, the BOE order maintains the modules and instructions of the simplified VAT regime as applied in the previous fiscal year. For self-employed workers who opt for this regime, this represents a valuable continuity that facilitates administrative and tax management.

With this decision, the principle of regulatory stability is reinforced in a context where many professionals especially value predictability in their taxation.
