Gym and health services
Although deductions for gyms and sports activities are not new, the government is planning on modifying the income limits and therefore the number of people who can benefit from this, though it is still pending parliamentary approval.
Under the new rules you will be able to deduct up to 30 percent of gym and sport expenses, up to a maximum of €150 per taxpayer, provided your total taxable base is under €32,000 for individuals or €48,000 for joint filing. You can also get greater deductions if you’re over 65 or disabled.
Expenses that qualify for this deduction include gym, sports clubs, membership fees, purchase of mandatory equipment for federated sports and services provided by sports coaches.
Health expenses you can deduct include services provided by traumatologists, dietitians/nutritionists, physiotherapists and podiatrists.
Psychology sessions will also be tax deductible at 30 percent, up to €100, as will the purchase of prescription glasses and contact lenses.

Energy efficiency and residence in municipalities at risk of depopulation
Other tax deductions are available to those who made their homes more energy efficient in 2025, such as changing the windows for double glazing or adding more insulation. If you moved to a municipality at risk of depopulation during last year, there are also benefits available.
If you think any of these might apply to you or you want to find out about the other deductions available, it’s important to contact your gestor. Even if you’re not sure, it’s worth checking with them if something is deductible or not.
