Box 00009 Parent company in tax group
This box will be checked by the entities that pay taxes under the Fiscal Consolidation Regime, including groups of cooperatives , established in Chapter VI of Title VII of the LIS and in Royal Decree 1345/1992, of November 6, which dictates rules for the adaptation of the provisions that regulate taxation on consolidated profits to groups of cooperative societies, respectively, to indicate whether said reporting entity is the dominant entity or head of the tax group.
Entities that check this box must also complete box [00040] "Tax group number" in the "Group" section on page 1 of form 200, in order to identify the tax group to which they belong.
If this box is checked, the NIF of the reporting entity , entered in the identification section, will be directly transferred to the field called “NIF of the representative/dominant entity (included in the tax group)” in the “Tax group” section on page 1 of form 200, intended to be completed exclusively by entities that have checked the boxes [00009] “Dominant entity of tax group” or [00010] “Dependent entity of tax group”.
Entities that tick box [00009] will not have to complete the data on pages 15 to 20 quater, except for the section “Details of corrections to the profit and loss account result (excluding the correction for corporate tax) (mandatory for all adjustments on pages 12 and 13)” on page 19, the section “Reversal of impairment losses on securities representing participation in the capital or equity of entities pending reversal” on page 20 bis, and the section relating to the “Allocation of results” on page 20 quater.
In the case of cooperative groups they will also not have to complete the quota compensation detail table on page 22 of form 200.
Keep in mind:
With effect for tax periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018, the branches of the Canary Islands Special Zone (ZEC) of entities with tax residence in Spain that apply the special tax rate of this zone, may form part of a tax group that applies the tax consolidation regime provided for in the LIS.
With regard to their Corporation Tax return, these entities must submit two forms 200 , one for the part of the taxable base to which the ZEC tax rate will be applied (in which they should not check box [00009], but rather box [00079] "ZEC entity in tax consolidation"), and another form 200 for the part of the taxable base that is not taxed at the special rate and to which the special consolidation regime will apply (in which they should check box [00009], but not box [00079]).
You can consult the instructions for completing Form 200 for these cases in Chapter 7 and in Chapter 12 of this Practical Manual.
