The maximum period to materialize the reserve for investments in the Canary Islands (RIC) is three years, by virtue of the provisions of article 27.4 of Law 19/1994, of July 6, modifying the Economic and Fiscal Regime of the Canary Islands.

This period of three years must be counted from the date of accrual of the tax corresponding to the year in which the provision (accounting) of the reserve occurs and said provision in the case of natural persons can be:

  • at the close of the accounting year on December 31 of each year.

  • in the year following that of obtaining the benefit.

The above determines that natural persons will have an effective period to materialize the reserve for investments in the Canary Islands of three or four years, depending on when they have made the accounting entry of the reserve provision (at the end of the year or in the year following). The design of the IRPF model responds to this duality (which does not happen in the case of Companies).

The information on provisions and materializations made in 2023 of the reserve for investments in the Canary Islands corresponding to the years 2018 to 2023 and anticipated investments of future provisions will be provided in accordance with the breakdown contained in the corresponding heading of Annex A.2 of the declaration of the following way:
