Taxpayers aged over sixty-five on 31 December of the tax year, or meeting one of the disability conditions mentioned in article 195, may deduct an amount of:
– €2,620 from their net overall income if this income does not exceed €16,410;
– €1,310 if this income is between €16,410 and €26,400.
In the case of married persons subject to joint taxation, the deduction provided for in the second and third paragraphs is doubled if both spouses meet the age or disability conditions.
The allowances and income ceilings mentioned in the second and third paragraphs are increased each year in the same proportion as the upper limit of the first bracket of the income tax scale. The amounts obtained are rounded up, if necessary, to the nearest euro as regards the allowances and to the nearest ten euros as regards the income ceilings.
