Rafa has become the winner of the biggest jackpot of history of Pass wordAlthough not everything is good news for him. Despite an astronomical amount being announced, from now on he will have to start pay a Hacienda and he will have to do it with a lot of money from the cattle.
More than 2,260,000 euros has been the astronomical amount that the legendary contestant will take for his final victory. The prizes obtained in TV contests represent a patrimonial gain in the IRPFas it is an alteration in his patrimony for that money gain.
The total amount you receive in your bank account will not be exactly what is advertised on television, since the program itself has to apply a 19% withholding on the prize. But, unfortunately for the winner, it will not be the only amount that must be paid.
That 19% will only be an advance, since the winner will have to declare that profit in the income statement for that year. that second payment It will depend on personal conditions, both because of your family situation and because of your work off the television sets.
That is, the Pasapalabra jackpot prize will have to be declared together with your income from work and your personal assets for the whole year as one more profit, Just as it could happen if you had sold a property or earned money by selling shares, to give just a few examples.
In addition, as the amount of the prize increases, the percentage of personal income tax to be paid is higher and, taking into account that it is the highest prize in the history of Pasapalabra, we are talking about reaching the maximum. You will have to pay more than winning contestants on other shows like Saber y ganar or 25 palabras, where the prizes for now are much lower.
This IRPF has a fixed part, which is the same for the whole country, from €60,000 earned at 22.5%, but To this percentage you must add a part that will change depending on the Community in which you reside. Thus, Rafa, who lives in Andalusia, will pay a very different amount to Orestes, who would have done so in Castilla y León.

In addition to Pablo Díaz, who will have paid his prize won in 2021 in the Community of Madrid, many raised their hands to their heads when they found out how much the winner of that year 2014 had to pay the Treasury. Paz confessed that the prize came in a very special moment.
