Calculation

Article 10.1 of the LIS establishes that the taxable base will be constituted by the amount of income obtained in the tax period reduced by the compensation of negative tax bases from previous tax periods.

Likewise, article 25 of the LIS regulates the capitalization reserve by which some taxpayers may apply a reduction in the previous tax base of 10 percent of the amount of the increase in their equity.

Therefore, when offsetting negative tax bases from previous tax periods (box [00547]), and/or applying the capitalization reserve (box [01032]) on the previous tax base (box [00550]), the amount to be entered in box [00552] Tax base" on page 14 of form 200 will be the result of performing the following operation:

[00552] = [00550] - [01032] - [00547]

This operation is not applicable in the case of the special regime for ships and shipping companies in the Canary Islands (i.e. in cases where box [00069] has been previously checked). These entities must break down the tax base after the capitalisation reserve prior to offsetting tax bases from previous years, since offsetting negative tax bases of the activities that generate the right to apply this special regime with positive tax bases derived from the rest of the activities, neither from the current year nor from previous years, is not permitted.

Keep in mind:

If the result obtained in this operation is equal to zero , zero (0) will be entered in box [00552] and the procedure for the other boxes that follow this one will be the same as indicated in the following paragraph for the case of zero amount in box [00552].

If the amount in box [00550] is zero or negative , zero (0) or the amount preceded by the minus sign (-) must be entered in both box [00550] and box [00552]. Likewise, zero (0) must be entered in boxes [00562] "Full quota" and [00582] "Positive adjusted full quota" on page 14 of form 200 and in box [00592] "Net quota" on page 14 bis of form 200, going directly to fill in, where applicable, the boxes corresponding to the withholdings (boxes [01785] to [01799]) on page 14 bis of said form.

If the taxable base for the period is negative (box [00552]) , its amount may be offset against positive income from subsequent tax periods.
