The Spanish Episcopal Conference has communicated that in the last income tax campaign there was a notable increase in the number of declarations that allocate the 0.7% of the IRPF to the Catholic Church. In total, 9 million taxpayers checked this box, which represents an increase of 208,841 declarations with respect to the previous year. This growth resulted in a historical collection of 382 million Euros, 6.6% more than in the previous year. 2022<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although the percentage of declarations that included the Church box decreased slightly to 31.29% (half a point less than the previous year), the overall increase in the number of declarations filed in Spain explains this significant economic increase. This financial support represents approximately 23% of the resources available to the dioceses, which use these funds to maintain their pastoral, educational and social activity, as well as to preserve their extensive cultural and religious heritage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Support for the Church<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Episcopal Conference has underlined the importance of this support in a context of growing social demand and has emphasized that, since the reform of the system in 2007, there has never been such a high number of contributors in favor of the Church. This result reflects that the Church generates a remarkable confidence in a third of Spanish citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By autonomous communities, the increases in Madrid and Andalusia stand out, where citizen commitment has been particularly notable. The Episcopal Conference thanked the citizens who, with this voluntary gesture, reinforce the initiatives of the Church, especially those aimed at the most vulnerable groups and the promotion of Christian values in different areas of daily life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
