Deduction for international double taxation of previous periods applied in the financial year (articles 31 and 32 LIS)

Filling in form 200

In box [00571] "Deduction for international double taxation of previous periods applied in the fiscal year (arts. 31 and 32 LIS )», the outstanding balance of deduction due to insufficient full quota will be recorded, relative to the deductions to avoid international double taxation of articles 31 and 32 of the LIS , generated in the tax periods 2015 to 2021 or in a previous tax period starting in 2022 and that the taxpayer applies in the period subject to declaration. The amount entered in this box will be the result of completing the breakdown table on page 16 of form 200 explained below.

Taxpayers who apply these deductions for international double taxation must complete this table in which they will record the amounts of the deductions to avoid international double taxation referred to in articles 31 and 32 of the LIS generated in the tax periods 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022 (*), which have been able to or may be transferred to future tax periods due to insufficient quota, as detailed below.

Completing the table “International double taxation deductions LIS” (page 16 of form 200)

  • Inside block « DI international previous periods», rows «DI international 2015» to «DI international 2021 » , are intended to collect the amounts of deductions to avoid international double taxation, regulated in articles 31 and 32 of the LIS generated from 2015 to 2021 , and which were transferable to subsequent tax periods due to insufficient full quota.

    The row «DI internal 2022 (*)» should only be completed if the entity has deductions pending application corresponding to a previous tax period starting in 2022 .

  • In column "Pending deduction" it must be taken into account that, if it is a deduction generated in any of the tax periods prior to the one being settled and started in 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022 (*), from the block «DI international previous periods", the balance of the corresponding deduction that was pending application at the beginning of the tax period being settled shall be entered in the respective box of this column. In any case, said balance must be the one corresponding to applying the tax rate for the tax period in which the deduction was generated.

  • In column "Tax rate/generation period" the tax rate for which the reporting entity and beneficiary of the deduction paid taxes in the period in which it was generated will be stated. This column does not exist for cases in which the tax period for generating the deduction corresponds to the tax period of the liquidation.

  • In column « 2022 pending deduction » the amounts referring to pending deductions from previous periods must be recorded. In the event that the tax rate applicable by the taxpayer benefiting from the deduction in the tax period in which it was generated is different from the tax rate under which it is taxed in the tax period to be settled (listed in the row "Tax rate 2022 " ), the amount to be entered in this column will be the result of multiplying the amount in the corresponding box in the "Pending deduction" column by the fraction " Tax rate 2022 /Tax rate generation period".

    Keep in mind:

    In general, the tax rate corresponding to the fiscal year 2022 will be obtained by dividing the amount in box [00562] "Full amount" on page 14 of form 200 by the amount in box [00552] "Taxable base" on page 13 of form 200.

    If the tax rate 2022 and the tax rate generation period are equal , the amount entered in the "Pending deduction" column will be equal to that entered in the corresponding box in the " 2022 pending deduction" column.

  • In column "Applied in this settlement" the part (or the whole, if applicable) of the amount corresponding to the previous column " 2022 pending deduction" that is applied in the settlement corresponding to the period subject to settlement will be recorded.

    Keep in mind:

    • For tax periods beginning on after 1 January 2016, section of Additional Provision of the LIS establishes that taxpayers whose net turnover is at least €20 during the 12 months prior to the start of the tax period must take into account that the amount of the deductions to avoid international double taxation provided for in Articles 31, 32 and section 11 of Article 100 of the LIS, as well as the amount of those deductions to avoid double taxation referred to in the Twenty-third Transitional Provision of this Law, may not jointly exceed 50 percent of the taxpayer's total tax amount.

    • Information on the net amount of turnover for the twelve months prior to the start date of the tax period must be included on page 1 of Form 200, in order to determine the application of minimum taxation (Article 30 bis LIS) and the limit established in DA 15 of the LIS.

      The option selected by the taxpayer will also be taken into account to determine the limits in the calculation of accounting corrections arising from the application of article 11.12 of the LIS, the compensation of negative tax bases and the compensation of quotas for losses of cooperatives, so once the table on page 1 of form 200 has been completed, it will not be displayed again on other screens.

    • In box [00571] the total amounts entered in the column "Applied in this settlement" will be recorded, which must be transferred to box [00571] on page 14 of form 200 regarding the settlement of the Tax.

  • In column "Pending application in future periods" the part of the deduction corresponding to column " 2022 pending deduction" that was not included in the box corresponding to the column "Applied in this settlement" will be recorded. That is, it refers to the part of the deduction that, because it was not applied in the settlement of the tax period subject to declaration, remains pending application in future tax periods.
