The foral income tax scale of Bizkaia and Gipuzkoa
In Bizkaia and Gipuzkoa income tax is foral: their provincial councils set it, and there is no state or regional share. The general scale has 8 bands from 23% to 49%, the last from €208,390. Álava shares the scale but has its own page because its family credits differ.

Employment bonus, general credit and family credits
Net employment income first loses a bonus of €8,000 up to €14,800, falling to €3,000 from €23,000 (and fixed at €3,000 with more than €7,500 of other income). The tax then loses a flat €1,615 general credit, the family credits and, from age 65, €393 (€714 from 75) on bases up to €20,000. A joint return reduces the base by €4,896.
