Professionals and companies affected by the storms at the beginning of the year, with special impact in Andalusia and Extremadura, can apply from today for the direct aid approved by the Government. According to information from the Ministry of Finance, the deadline will be open until June 30, 2026 and the application must be made through the Electronic Headquarters of the Tax Agency.
These aids are included in Royal Decree-Law 5/2026, of February 17, which establishes a package of economic support to mitigate the damages caused by these meteorological episodes.
The aid is exempt from taxation both in Personal Income Tax and in Corporate Income Tax and is unseizable.
How to apply for the aids step by step
The applicants must complete an electronic form available on the Electronic Headquarters of the Tax Agency.
In said form, it is only necessary to provide the following data: name and surname(s), NIF, a bank account of which the applicant is the holder, and a contact phone number. It is not necessary to present additional documentation along with the application.
To access the form, it is essential to have a digital identification system, either ‘Clave’ or an electronic certificate. On the electronic headquarters itself, access to registration in ‘Clave’ is provided for those who are not registered, as well as informative modules with frequently asked questions.
Amount of the aid for the storms and method of payment
The aid contemplated in the Royal Decree-Law varies depending on the applicant's profile. In the case of business owners and professional natural persons, the amount will be 5,000 euros. For companies, the aid will range between 10,000 and 150,000 euros, depending on their billing level.
Once the application has been processed, the payment will be made by direct bank transfer to the account indicated by the applicant on the form, as detailed by the Ministry of Finance.
In case that the applicant needs to modify any data, such as the bank account, they must withdraw the previous application and submit a new one, as established by the procedure enabled by the Tax Agency.
