Economic growth charts over a Mediterranean landscape.

Tax revenue in the province of Girona has seen exceptional growth over the past decade, more than doubling and reaching record figures.

Between January and June 2026, the Tax Agency collected 1,443.7 million euros in Girona, a 13.9% increase compared to the same period in 2025 (1,267.1 million). Compared to 2016, when revenue was 636.3 million, the increase amounts to 807.5 million euros, a 126.9% rise.
This sustained growth cannot be attributed to a single factor. The evolution of economic activity, employment, wages, consumption, demographic growth, price increases, and fiscal changes have all contributed to this positive trend. Territorial data does not allow for a precise breakdown of each element's contribution.
The Personal Income Tax (IRPF) and Value Added Tax (IVA) are the main drivers of this growth. IRPF, the primary source of income, contributed 675.7 million euros in the first half of 2026, an 11.1% increase from the previous year. Compared to a decade ago (248.2 million in 2016), revenue has nearly tripled, increasing by 172.3%. IRPF accounts for over half of the total increase in the last ten years.
VAT reached 561 million euros by June, an 18.3% increase from the previous year. In a decade, revenue from this tax has doubled, from approximately 280 million in 2016 to the current figure (a 100.4% increase). Together, IRPF and VAT explain approximately 88% of the additional 807.5 million euros collected in the first six months of 2026 compared to 2016.
Corporate Tax accumulated 109.1 million euros in net revenue, an 11.5% increase from the previous year. Over ten years, it has grown by 140.5%, rising from 45.4 million in 2016. Income from non-resident tax has reached 30.5 million, a 6% year-on-year increase, and has grown by 181.4% since 2016.
Conversely, special taxes (fuels, tobacco, alcohol, electricity) have seen a slight year-on-year decrease of 0.6%, generating 41.3 million euros. However, revenue is 44.2% higher than that recorded in 2016.
This increase in the first half of 2026 consolidates a trend of consecutive annual highs. In 2024, revenue exceeded 3,000 million euros for the first time, reaching 3,040 million, and in 2025, a new record of 3,327 million was achieved. The province has now recorded four consecutive years of record revenue, and the full-year figures will be needed to confirm if this streak continues.
