Note:

The joint limit of 25% of the total tax, reduced by deductions to avoid double taxation and bonuses (code [00582]), jointly affects all deductions regulated in Chapter IV of Title VI of the Corporate Income Tax Law, including that of Article 42 of the RDLeg. 4/2004, (and excluding those of article 35 in the case of the option provided for in article 39.2), and the deductions covered by the regime of article 27.3 First of Law 49/2002.
