Example 1

In the tax period that began on January 1, 2019, company "A", domiciled in the Canary Islands, makes an allocation to RIC , charged to the profits of the 2019 financial year, in the amount of 1,000 euros. In this same period, said company has profits that are not subject to distribution of 1,000,000 euros.

In 2020, it acquired a material asset for 1,000 euros that contributes to improving the environment in the Canary Islands. In this same period, said company has profits that are not subject to distribution of 1,000,000 euros.

As in fiscal year 2019, in fiscal year 2020, company A has profits that are not subject to distribution of 1,000,000 euros.

In this case, the reduction that company "A" may apply to its tax base will be limited to 90 percent of the part of the profit obtained that is not subject to distribution:

Limit: 90% x 1,000,000 euros = €900,000.

Note: This example assumes that in fiscal year 2019 the table relating to Advance Investments already existed.

Company "A" makes a contribution to the RIC in the amount of 1,000 euros from its 2019 profits (it can make it because it meets the limit, since 1,000 euros < 900,000 euros), therefore You must enter an amount of 1,000 euros in the row "Amount of the RIC endowment charged to 2019 profits" of the table "Special reserve regime for investments in the Canary Islands (Law 19/1994)" on the page 22 of the 200 model.

For this reason, company "A" must complete, in the first table on page 22 of Form 200, column "Pending materialization of RIC in future periods", in the corresponding row to the RIC 2019 for the amount of 1,000 euros .

In accordance with the above, company "A" must complete the adjustment on page 13 and the table on page 22 of form 200 corresponding to the 2020 financial year, as follows:

Fiscal year 2020 :

At the beginning of fiscal year 2020, 1,000 euros remain to be materialized of the allocation to the RIC charged to 2019 profits made in fiscal year 2019, so company "A" must record in the first table on page 22 of Form 200 relating to the Special Regime of the reserve for investments in the Canary Islands (Law 19/1994) column "Pending materialization of RIC at the beginning of the period", in the row corresponding to the RIC 2019 , the amount of 1,000 euros.
