Tax deductible taxes

Includes:

• Input VAT
• Other tax-deductible taxes.

In relation to each of them we can indicate the following:

Treatment of input VAT

The VAT incurred on said operations, the amounts of which are deductible in the self-assessments of this tax, will not be included in the deductible expenses of the economic activity carried out. 

On the contrary, VAT must be included among the deductible expenses of the economic activity carried out, including, where applicable, the equivalence surcharge, borne in said operations, the amounts of which are not deductible in the self-assessments of the VAT itself of this tax. Among other cases, this circumstance will occur when the economic activity carried out is subject to the following special VAT regimes:

• Special Regime of the Equivalence Surcharge.
• Special regime for agriculture, livestock and fisheries.

For its part, the input VAT corresponding to the acquisition of elements of fixed assets assigned to the activity that is not deductible in this last tax, must be integrated as the highest acquisition value of said elements, so its consideration as an expense in personal income tax is will be carried out through the corresponding amortizations.

Other tax-deductible taxes

This concept includes non-state taxes and surcharges, parafiscal levies, rates, surcharges and special state contributions that cannot be legally passed on, provided that they affect the computed income, are not of a penal nature and correspond to the same fiscal year as the income. Examples of non-state taxes are the Tax on Economic Activities (IAE) and the Tax on Real Estate (IBI) corresponding to the economic activity carried out.

Criminal and administrative sanctions, surcharges for the executive period and the surcharge for late declaration without prior request are not considered deductible expenses.
