The Consejo Vasco de Finanzas Públicas approved the official forecasts for revenue from the taxes subject to agreement and the distribution decisions for 2027 on 15 October 2026. The Previsión de cierre 2026 stands at €21,365,002,802. The total for 2027 is expected to be €22,681,746,852. The decisions were published on the Irekia government platform and provide the basis for budget planning by the foral bodies.
Compared with the projected outturn for 2026, this represents an increase of 6.2 per cent for 2027; compared with the 2026 budget, the rise is 7.3 per cent. The government cites the continued favourable performance of the economy and labour market in Euskadi, as well as an additional one-off IVAincome, which is included in the methodology. For 2027, the budget includes, among other items, €8,887,902,874 from the IRPF, €1,725,737,000 from the Impuesto sobre Sociedades and €8,731,835,001 from IVA.
A total of Diputaciones Forales €15,124,982,057 was set for 2027 to fund the institutions shared by the Autonomous Community. The underlying coeficientes horizontales allocate contributions among the three Territorios Históricos as follows: 16.11 per cent for Álava, 50.37 per cent for Bizkaia and 33.52 per cent for Gipuzkoa. The foral contributions for the coming budget cycle have therefore been formally set.
The decision also includes the forecast for the Fondo General de Ajuste for 2027, amounting to €203,157,724. This is funded 70.81 per cent by the Gobierno Vasco (€143,855,984) and 29.19 per cent by the Diputaciones Forales (€59,301,740). The provisional allocation of the fund provides €137,644,995 for Álava and €65,512,729 for Gipuzkoa.
The announcement also refers to the agreement reached by the Comisión Mixta del Concierto Económico on 9 July 2026. This adds a third, regulated and permanent source of funding for care and dependency in Euskadi to state funding under the Concierto Económico. The new framework will be taken into account in the future distribution of state funds. All the figures and percentages cited correspond to the official publication of 15 October 2026.
