Campaign 2024 (for the Renta 2023)
Year after year the state, with the IRPF campaign, asks us for our direct taxes. Contributing to cover social needs (education, health, culture, decarbonisation of the economy, protection of nature, improvement of public services, scientific research for peaceful purposes...) is all very well. But a very important part of your taxes will end up financing militarism (8.37% in 2023). We propose you to say: NO.
Contributing to military spending is making wars possible and increasing social injustice..
Advocacy video for the Military Expenditure Tax Objection 2024
Military spending (the budget of the Ministry of Defence, the hidden items in other ministries, plus the extraordinary credits approved by the Council of Ministers) in 2023 will amount to 48,833 million euros, more than 4% of the national GDP. That's 13.4 million euros per day, or about 1,005 euros per inhabitant in the Spanish state, an outrageous amount!!!
War is a crime against humanity, not in our name!
To prevent wars you have to get involved. Object to military spending!
If you want to send a clear message to the government that you don't agree with military spending: TAX OBJECTION!
With 1€ of tax objection, you don't run the risk of suffering unacceptable reprisals from the Treasury and you are really betting for PEACE and DISARMAMENT.
What is tax objection?
Fiscal objection is the refusal to collaborate financially with the state in the financing of armies and their wars.
Fiscal objection is an act of civil disobedience (and therefore illegal) that consists of diverting part of the taxes from the income tax return (IRPF) and allocating this amount to social initiatives that work on the construction of alternatives of a transforming and supportive nature.
Not one person, not one euro for war!
- See the 2023 tax objection report.
How to make a tax objection?
- Choose a project or entity to which you want to allocate the money. We suggest the Alternativa Antimilitarista-MOC's International Project-MOC 2024. Make a transfer or deposit in their account for the amount you wish to divert (we suggest several possibilities in point 2). Keep the receipt.
- You must object to an amount that you can afford in case the tax office asks you for a refund.
- 1 euro (so you run no real risk). This is a symbolic amount.
- 8.37% of your general taxable base (box 505), which corresponds to the percentage of military expenditure over the total of the General State Budget.
- Any amount you consider.
- You file your tax return online (Renta Web). Fill in your details and amend box 606 ("Withholdings art. 11 of Council Directive 2003/48/EC reported before 1 January 2019 (Austria, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, San Marino, Monaco and Andorra)") by entering the amount you have decided to divert.
- Send the letter to the Minister of Finance explaining your reasons for making a Tax Objection to Military Spending. We suggest a template. We recommend that you enclose a copy of the receipt for the payment made. You can send it electronically through the Tax Agency website.
- Inform us of your objection because we can make a count of all the objections that have been made, as this is a collective campaign. Fill in the form: http://www.objecionfiscal.info/encuesta
