Incompatibility

This deduction is incompatible with the deductions “For investment in the acquisition of shares or social participations in new or recently created entities”, “For investment in the acquisition of shares or social participations in new or recently created entities and their financing” and “For investment in shares of entities listed in the segment of expanding companies in the alternative stock market” included in numbers nine, ten and eleven of article 5 of Legislative Decree 1/2011.
