The territorial division of Spain by income leaves a fracture between those who reside in some of the large cities, a minority part of the population, and the citizens who live in medium-sized cities and towns, the majority of taxpayers. However, the former declare most of the income recorded by the Treasury: sOnly the inhabitants of seven cities (some eight million people) account for 25% of these incomes. The other 39 million Spaniards share the remaining 75%. Madrid is the city that concentrates the highest declared income, 12% of the almost 570,000 million euros paid by the Spanish in 2018, according to the latest personal income tax statistics from the Tax Agency.
