Campaign 2025 (for the Renta 2024)
Once again, the Income Tax Declaration (IRPF): the state is asking to pay part, perhaps the most important, of our direct taxes. Supposedly to cover some our social needs (education, health, culture, decarbonisation of the economy, protection of nature, improvement of public services, civil protection in emergencies, scientific research for peaceful purposes...). This is well and goog. But let's o forget that a very signigicant portion of these taxes will end up financing militarism (10.57% in 2024). We propose you to say: NO!
Contributing to military spending is generating wars, promoting authoritarianism, increasing social injustice and aggravating the climate, environmental and energy crises. Militarism puts human lives, our health, the health of the planet and the future of new generations at risk. It also takes away a very important part of our resources that are needed to cover basic social needs.
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 2024 amounted to 62,126 million euros, 3.84% of the national GDP. That's 169.7 million euros per day, or about 1,266 euros per inhabitant per year in Spain, an infamous barbarity!!
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 and European rearmament: 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 2024 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 2025. 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.
- 10.57% of your tax liability resulting from the self-assessment (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
