    However, the income referred to in letter i) of the previous section shall be imputed in all cases, without prejudice to the fact that they shall also be taken into consideration for the purposes of determining whether the sum of their amounts is less than 15% of the total income obtained by the non-resident entity.

  • The amount of the tax or taxes of an identical or similar nature to the Corporate Tax actually paid by the non-resident company for the portion of income to be included.
