Comments on the painting:

Rule 2 and its limits are independent of those contained in Rule 1, acting in any case as a corrective criterion for Rule 1 for low-value income. Consequently, if a taxpayer is not required to file a tax return due to the nature and amount of income obtained in accordance with the limits and conditions of Rule 1, Rule 2 will not apply.

When, following the application of the limits and conditions of rule 1, the taxpayer is obliged to file a return, rule 2 and its limits must be consulted to verify whether the exclusion from the obligation to file applies when dealing with low-value income.

Please note that Rule 1 does not list capital losses among the cases exempt from the obligation to file.

Likewise, note that the imputation of income is not listed in rule 2.
