Deduction of 30% of the amount of expenses corresponding to accounting depreciation (excluding small companies)

Article 7 of Law 16/2012 of 27 December, adopting various tax measures aimed at consolidating public finances and boosting economic activity, established a temporary limitation on the deductibility of amortizations for tax periods beginning in 2013 and 2014.

It also established that the non-deductible accounting amortization expense will be deducted in a linear manner at the taxpayer's option over 10 years or over the useful life of the asset starting from the first tax period that begins in 2015.
