Practical manual for Income Tax 2020.

f) Information to be provided in the personal income tax return

The maximum period for materializing the reserve for investments in the Canary Islands is three years, pursuant to the provisions of article 27.4 of Law 19/1994, of July 6, amending the Economic and Tax Regime of the Canary Islands, as amended by Royal Decree-Law 15/2014, of December 19, amending the Economic and Tax Regime of the Canary Islands.

This three-year period must be counted from the date of accrual of the tax corresponding to the year in which the allocation (accounting) of the reserve occurs and said allocation in the case of natural persons may be:

  • at the close of the accounting period on December 31 of each year.
  • in the year following the year in which the profit is obtained.

The above determines that natural persons will have an effective period to materialize the RIC of three or four years, depending on when they have made the accounting entry for the provision of the reserve (at the end of the fiscal year or in the following fiscal year). The design of the IRPF model responds to this duality (which does not occur in the case of companies).

Information on provisions and materialisations made in 2020 of the reserve for investments in the Canary Islands corresponding to the years 2016 to 2020 and early investments of future provisions will be provided in accordance with the breakdown contained in the corresponding section of Annex A.2) of the declaration as follows:

    Covid-19: It should be noted that Royal Decree-Law 39/2020, of December 29, on financial measures for social and economic support and compliance with the execution of judgments, introduces a new eighth transitional provision in Law 19/1994, of July 6, modifying the Economic and Fiscal Regime of the Canary Islands, to extend by one year the deadlines for carrying out the materialization of the reserve for investments in the Canary Islands endowed with profits obtained in 2016 and the provision to said reserve relating to the advance investments made in 2017 and considered as materialization thereof, due to the serious effects that the pandemic has had on the realization of investments and economic results in 2020. For this reason, box [0829] has been incorporated into the model.

    Without prejudice to the foregoing, it should be noted that box [0790] may also be completed when the investment reserve obtained from profits for the 2016 financial year was accounted for in 2017.
