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, please note that rule 2 does not list the imputation of income , nor does it include taxpayers who at any time during the tax period had been registered, as self-employed workers, in the Special Regime for Self-Employed Workers (RETA), or in the Special Social Security Regime for Sea Workers (RETM) since, as of January 1, 2023, will in any case be required to declare regardless of the amount of their income.
