Practical example of deductions

Example:

Company "A", whose financial year lasts twelve months and coincides with the calendar year, has the following data when filing its Corporate Income Tax return for the 2020 financial year:

1. The total amount, less double taxation deductions and bonuses (box [00582] "Positive adjusted total amount" on page 14 of form 200), is 100,000 euros.

2. The following deductions from previous periods are pending application:

   • Fiscal year 2014: For investment of profits: 20,000 euros.

   • Exercise 2015: For research and development expenses: 2,000 euros.

   • Exercise 2016: For donations to UNICEF : 1,000 euros.

   • Fiscal year 2017 For job creation for workers with disabilities: 3,300 euros.

   • Exercise 2018: For her participation in the Universe Woman Program: 1,800 euros.

   • Exercise 2019: For expenses in technological innovation: 2,500 euros.

3. During the 2020 financial year, investments have been made in the Canary Islands through the acquisition of tangible fixed assets which, in accordance with the provisions of Law 20/1991, entitle the company to a deduction of 2,000 euros.

4. The amount of the deduction for research and development activities corresponding to expenses and investments made in the 2020 financial year amounts to 21,000 euros (it exceeds 10 percent of the full tax rate for 2020, reduced by deductions to avoid double taxation and bonuses). In 2020, no investments were made in technological innovation.

Solution:

Positive adjusted gross share (box [00582]): 100,000 euros

Application of deductions:

• For investment of profits 2014 (pending balance): 20,000

  Applies: 20,000

• For research and development expenses 2015 (pending balance): 2,000

  It applies ⁽¹⁾: 2,000

• For donations to UNICEF 2016 (pending balance): 1,000

  Applies: 1,000

• For job creation for workers with disabilities 2017 (pending balance): 3.300

  It applies ⁽¹⁾: 3.300

• For her participation in the Universo Mujer 2018 program (pending balance): 1,800

  It applies ⁽¹⁾: 1,800

• For technological innovation expenses 2019 (pending balance): 2,500

  It applies ⁽¹⁾: 2,500

• For investments in the Canary Islands made in 2020: 2,000

  It applies ⁽²⁾: 2,000

• For research and development expenses 2020: 21,000

  It applies ^{(1) (3)}: 20.400

Calculation of positive net share :

Total amount, less deductions for double taxation and bonuses = 100,000 euros

(-) Deductions applied = 53,000 euros

Positive net share (box [00582]) = 47,000 euros

Notes to the example:

⁽¹⁾ The joint limit of deductions in Chapter IV of Title VI of the LIS amounts to 50,000 euros. In accordance with the provisions of article 39 of the LIS it is raised from 25 percent to 50 percent on the positive adjusted integral quota, as the amount of the deduction for research and development activities and technological innovation exceeds 10 percent of said amount. ^{(back to research 2015) (return creation) (return participation) (return innovation) (back to research 2020)}

⁽²⁾ The applicable limit according to Law 20/1991 amounts to 50 percent of the adjusted total positive quota (50,000 euros). ^(Back)

⁽³⁾ This deduction cannot be applied in its entirety because it exceeds the aforementioned joint limit. ^(Back)
