Supervivientes Winner Says Taxes Cut His €200,000 Prize to About €110,000

His post says a 19% withholding with Valencia's IRPF leaves roughly half the award.

Overview

  • Borja González said he received €162,000 after an automatic €38,000 withholding on the Telecinco prize.
  • He estimated owing about €50,000 more in his income tax return under Comunidad Valenciana rates, putting the net near €110,000–€112,000.
  • Spanish televised-contest prizes face a 19% withholding at source, yet winners must declare the full amount as a capital gain in the IRPF.
  • González noted that residency affects the bill and said winners in Madrid, Galicia or Murcia could pay up to €10,000 less than in Valencia.
  • In a sarcastic video, he criticized regional tax management and referenced Valencia's recent DANA response.
