Having exceeded during the previous year (2018) the maximum specific magnitude (number of people employed or vehicles or punts used) established for each activity in article 3.1. d) of Order HAC /1264/2018, of November 27 ( BOE of 30), which are included in list of activities reproduced in this Chapter

    Important: For the purposes of applying the objective estimation method, each of those that appear in the list reproduced below is considered to be independent activities, regardless of whether the activity is carried out in one or more premises or whether it corresponds to one or with several groups or headings of the Tax on Economic Activities ( IAE ) (Art. 38.1 Regulation Personal Income Tax ).

  3. Determine the net return of some economic activity using the direct estimation method, in any of its two modalities.

In accordance with this principle, taxpayers who determine the net return of any economic activity by the direct estimation method, in any of its modalities, are obliged to determine the net return of all their economic activities by said method, in the corresponding modality. .

    However, when any activity not included or for which the objective estimation method is waived is started during the year, the incompatibility will not take effect for that year with respect to the activities that were previously carried out, but only from the following year. .

  4. Exclusion from the special simplified regime of VAT or IGIC

    Regulations: Articles 34.2 and 36 Regulation Personal Income Tax .

    By virtue of the principle of coordination of the objective estimation method with the Value Added Tax ( VAT ) or with the Canary Islands General Indirect Tax ( IGIC ), the exclusion of the special simplified regime in the VAT or in the IGIC implies the exclusion of the objective estimation method for all economic activities carried out by the taxpayer.
