Amount of deduction

For tax periods beginning on or after January 1, 2015, in order to mitigate the effects of the reduction in tax rates on the limitation on the deduction of amortizations corresponding to the years 2013 and 2014, section 1 of the thirty-seventh transitional provision of the LIS , established a new deduction on the full amount for taxpayers who pay taxes at the general corporate tax rate.

Thus, in accordance with the provisions of the aforementioned provision, taxpayers who pay taxes at the general tax rate provided for in article 29.1 of the LIS and to whom the limitation on amortizations established in article 7 of Law 16/2012, of December 27, by which various tax measures aimed at consolidating public finances and boosting economic activity are applied, will be entitled to a deduction in the full amount of 5 percent (2 percent for tax periods beginning in 2015) of the amounts that they include in the tax base of the tax period in accordance with the third paragraph of the aforementioned article, derived from the amortizations not deducted in the tax periods that began in 2013 and 2014.

Keep in mind:

This deduction will be applied after the other deductions and bonuses that are applicable from the Corporate Tax, so the joint limit does not apply to it.

Amounts not deducted due to insufficient full quota may be deducted in subsequent tax periods, without time limitation
