Mr. PHV is the owner of an economic activity whose net income is determined by the direct estimation method, normal mode.

In 2020, it met the requirements to be considered a small entity and obtained net income from its activity amounting to 45,000 euros, with the general taxable base for the year corresponding to these earnings being 43,200 euros and the sum of its full state and regional tax rate of 10,673 euros.

On September 5, 2020, with the profits obtained in the year, he acquired new machinery for his company for an amount of 25,000 euros, which was delivered to him in November of that year.

Determine the amount of the investment deduction.

Solution:

Net income from economic activities for the year 2020: 45,000

Amount invested in 2020 (1) = 25,000

Deduction base (invested amount with the limit of 43,200) (2) = 25,000

Deduction amount: (25,000 x 5%) (3) = 1,250

Maximum amount limit (sum of your full state and regional quota) = 10,673

Notes to the example:

(1) The amount of net income from economic activities obtained in 2020 that is invested in new affected items will be recorded in box [0833] of Annex A.4) of the declaration. (Back)

(2) It is the amount entitled to deduction with the limit of the positive general taxable base of 2020 that corresponds to such income and will be recorded in box [0834] of annex A.4) of the declaration. (Back)

(3) The amount of the deduction does not exceed the sum of the full state and regional quota for the 2020 fiscal year, so in this case it will be recorded in full in box [0835] of Annex A.4) of the declaration. (Back)
