This box will be checked by entities that pay taxes under the Fiscal Consolidation Regime, including groups of cooperatives, established in Chapter VI of Title VII of the LIS and in Royal Decree 1345/1992, respectively, to indicate that said reporting entity is the dominant entity of the tax group.

Entities that check this box must also complete box [00040] «Tax group number » in the «Tax group» section on page 1 of form 200, in order to identify the tax group to which they belong.

In the case of cooperative groups they will also not have to complete the quota compensation detail table on page 22 of form 200.

This box will be checked by entities that pay taxes under the Fiscal Consolidation Regime, including cooperative groups, established in Chapter VI of Title VII of the LIS and in Royal Decree 1345/1992, respectively, to indicate that said reporting entity is a dependent entity within the tax group.

Entities that check this box must complete box [00040] "Tax group number" in the "Tax group" section on page 1 of form 200, in order to identify the tax group to which they belong.

If box [00010] has been checked, the reporting entity must enter the NIF of the parent or representative entity (the latter, in the case of groups made up only of dependent entities) in the field called "NIF of the representative/parent entity (included in the tax group)", in the "Tax group" section on page 1 of form 200.

In addition, entities that check box [00010] on page 1 of Form 200 must enter, in the case of groups whose parent entity is located abroad or is subject to regional regulations , the identification number of the parent entity of the group to which they belong, in field " Identification number of the parent entity (in the case of groups made up only of dependent entities)", in the "Tax group" section on page 1 of Form 200.

Things to keep in mind :

With effect for tax periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018, branches of the Canary Islands Special Zone (ZEC) of entities with tax residence in Spain that apply the special tax rate of this zone, may form part of a tax group that applies the tax consolidation regime provided for in the LIS.

In relation to the Corporation Tax return, these entities must submit two forms 200, one for the part of the taxable base to which the ZEC tax rate will be applied (in which should not check box [00010] , but rather box [00079] "ZEC entity in tax consolidation"), and another form 200 for the part of the taxable base that is not taxed at the special rate and to which the special consolidation regime will apply (in which should check box [00010] , but not box [00079]).
