The complementary scale and the 60% deduction
Ceuta and Melilla have no regional scale of their own: the state's complementary scale applies instead, from 9.5% to 22.5%. A 60% deduction then comes off the combined state and complementary tax on income earned there, such as the salary of someone working in the city. Law: Ley 35/2006 del IRPF, art. 65 (escala complementaria) y art. 68.4 (deducción del 60 %).
