Since this Tuesday, the Tax Agency has enabled the form so that companies and professionals affected by the storms at the beginning of the year, especially in Andalusia and Extremadura, can request direct aid approved by the Government. The deadline will be open until June 30 and all procedures will be carried out only electronically.
The procedure, included in Royal Decree-Law 5/2026 (which can be consulted at this BOE), seeks to speed up both the application and payment of aid. To do this, the form only asks for basic information about the applicant such as name, NIF, bank account and contact telephone number, so there is no need to provide more documentation. The administration will subsequently pay the amounts by direct transfer to the indicated account.
From 5,000 to 150,000 euros of aid
The aid is aimed at alleviating the damage caused by the meteorological phenomena that affected these regions at the beginning of the year. In the case of individual and professional entrepreneurs, the amount will be 5,000 euros. For companies, aid will range between 10,000 and 150,000 euros, depending on their turnover volume.
One of the outstanding elements of the program is its tax treatment: this aid will be exempt from taxation in both Personal Income Tax and Corporate Income Tax, in addition to being non-seizable. This design aims to guarantee that the amount reaches the beneficiaries in full in a context of recovery after the damages suffered.
To complete the process, applicants must identify themselves using the ‘Code’ system or electronic certificate. The Tax Agency has also incorporated complementary information and frequently asked questions in its electronic headquarters to facilitate access to this aid, as well as direct access to registration in the identification system for those who are not yet registered.
The activation of this form represents another step in the Executive’s response to the economic effects of the storms, which caused significant damage to the local productive fabric, especially in rural areas and small businesses. However, the real scope of this aid in the recovery of activity remains to be evaluated, depending on both the speed of payments and their adequacy to the losses suffered.
