Transitional scheme
Regulations: Thirteenth transitional provision of the LIS
Assets for which, in tax periods beginning before 1 January 2015, a different depreciation coefficient was being applied to that which corresponded to them by application of the new depreciation table provided for in article 12.1 of the LIS, will be depreciated during the tax periods remaining until completing their new useful life, in accordance with the aforementioned table, on the net tax value of the asset existing at the beginning of the first tax period beginning on or after 1 January 2015.
Likewise, those taxpayers who were applying an amortization method other than that resulting from applying the linear amortization coefficients in tax periods beginning before January 1, 2015 and, in application of the amortization table provided for in this Law, were assigned a different amortization period, may choose to apply the linear amortization method in the period remaining until the end of their new useful life, on the taxable net value existing at the beginning of the first tax period beginning on or after January 1, 2015.
Finally, for acquisitions of new assets made between 1 January 2003 and 31 December 2004, the maximum linear amortization coefficients provided for in this Law shall apply, multiplied by 1.1.
