Practical Manual for Companies 2023.

I. RIC practical assumptions

Example 1

In the tax period beginning on January 1, 2022, company "A", domiciled in the Canary Islands, makes a contribution to RIC in the amount of 1,000 euros from the profits for the year 2022. During this same period, the company has profits that are not subject to distribution of 1,000,000 euros.

In 2023, it acquired a tangible fixed asset for 1,000 euros that contributes to improving the environment in the Canary Islands. 

As in fiscal year 2022, in fiscal year 2023 company "A" has profits that are not subject to distribution of 1,000,000 euros.

In this case, the reduction that company "A" may apply to its tax base will be limited to 90 percent of the portion of the profit obtained that is not subject to distribution:

Limit: 90% x 1,000,000 euros = €900,000.

Exercise 2022 :

Company "A" makes a provision to the RIC in the amount of 1,000 euros from its 2022 profits (it can do so because it meets the limit, since 1,000 euros < 900,000 euros), so it must record an amount of 1,000 euros in row "Amount of the RIC provision charged to 2022 profits" of the table "Special reserve regime for investments in the Canary Islands (Law 19/1994)" on page 22 of form 200.

In addition, must complete on page 13 of form 200, box [00404] "Reserve for investments in the Canary Islands (Law 19/1994)" (negative adjustment) for an amount of 1,000 euros , since it is the value of the reduction of the tax base for the year 2022 that is made due to the allocation to the RIC.

However, an amount of 1,000 euros remains pending to be materialized in subsequent periods. For this reason, company "A" must complete, in the first box on page 22 of Form 200, column "Pending materialization of RIC in future periods", in the row corresponding to RIC 2022 for an amount of 1,000 euros .

According to the above, company "A" must complete the adjustment on page 13 and the table on page 22 of form 200 corresponding to the 2022 fiscal year, as follows:

Exercise 2023 :

Company "A" does not make any provision to the RIC in this fiscal year, so should not complete row "Amount of the RIC provision charged to 2023 profits" of the table "Special reserve regime for investments in the Canary Islands (Law 19/1994)" on page 22 of form 200.

Furthermore, should not complete box [00404] "Reserve for investments in the Canary Islands (Law 19/1994)" (negative adjustment) on page 13 of form 200, since the taxable base for the year 2023 will not be reduced due to the allocation to the RIC.

Please note that the investment made by company B in fiscal year 2023 is not considered an early investment, since, although RIC is not provided in 2023, the investment in this fiscal year is a materialization of the provision of the reserve that was made in 2022.

At the beginning of the 2023 financial year 1,000 euros remain to be materialized of the provision to the RIC against profits from >2022 made in the 2022 financial year, so company "A" must record in the first box on page 22 of Form 200 relating to the Special Reserve Regime for Investments in the Canary Islands (Law 19/1994) column "Pending materialization of RIC at the beginning of the period", in the row corresponding to RIC 2022 , the amount of 1,000 euros.

The amount invested in fiscal year 2023 is 1,000 euros, therefore company "A" must complete the first table on page 22 of Form 200 relating to the Special Reserve Regime for Investments in the Canary Islands (Law 19/1994), entering in column "Investments planned letters B bis, C and D, art. 27.4 Law 19/1994", in the row corresponding to RIC 2022 , the amount of the materialization, that is, 1,000 euros . In fiscal year 2023, the total amount of the provision made during 2022 is materialized, so there is nothing pending to materialize for future fiscal years. For this reason, company "A" should not complete the column "Pending RIC materialization at the end of the period."

In this way, the adjustment on page 13 and the table on page 22 of model 200 corresponding to the 2023 fiscal year will be completed as follows:

Example 2

In the tax period beginning on January 1, 2022, company "B", domiciled in the Canary Islands, acquires tangible fixed assets for 1,000 euros that contribute to improving the environment in the Canary Islands.

Company "B" does not make any provision to RIC in fiscal year 2022.

In 2023, no investment is made in which the RIC can be materialized, although, against the profits of 2023, company "B" records in 2023 a provision to the RIC in the amount of 1,000 euros.

In both fiscal years 2022 and 2023, company "B" has profits that are not subject to distribution of 1,000,000 euros.

In both fiscal year 2022 and 2023, the reduction that company "B" may apply to its tax base will be limited to 90 percent of the portion of the profit obtained that is not subject to distribution:

Limit: 90% x 1,000,000 euros = €900,000.

Exercise 2022 :

Company "B" does not make any provision to the RIC in this fiscal year, so will not have to complete row "Amount of the RIC provision charged to 2022 profits" of the table "Special reserve regime for investments in the Canary Islands (Law 19/1994)" on page 22 of form 200.

Furthermore, should not complete box [00404] "Reserve for investments in the Canary Islands (Law 19/1994)" (negative adjustment) on page 13 of form 200, since the taxable base for the year 2022 will not be reduced due to the allocation to the RIC.

The amount invested in advance in the year 2022 is 1,000 euros, so it remains pending to provide the RIC with a charge to profits obtained in the three tax periods after 2022 for this amount. In this case, company "B" will have to complete the table relating to Advance investments, specifically the row Advance investments 2022 must be completed, the box corresponding to the column "Planned investments letters B bis, C and D, art. 27.4 Law 19/1994» for an amount of 1,000 euros , as well as, in that same row, box «Pending provision of RIC at the end of the period» for an amount of 1,000 euros . In addition, in fiscal year 2022 you must communicate the materialization and its financing system together with the Corporate Income Tax return.

In this way, the adjustment on page 13 and the table on page 22 of model 200 corresponding to the 2022 fiscal year will be completed as follows:

Exercise 2023 :

Company "B" makes a provision to the RIC for an amount of 1,000 euros from the profits of this year (it can do so because it meets the limit, since 1,000 euros < 900,000 euros), so must enter an amount of 1,000 euros in row "Amount of the RIC provision charged to profits for 2023" of the table "Special reserve regime for investments in the Canary Islands (Law 19/1994)" on page 22 of form 200.

In addition, must complete on page 13 of form 200, box [00404] "Reserve for investments in the Canary Islands (Law 19/1994)" (negative adjustment) for an amount of 1,000 euros , since it is the value of the reduction of the tax base for the year 2023 that is made due to the allocation to the RIC.

In the fiscal year 2023, company "B" does not make any investment , but the investment made in 2022 will be considered materialized in this fiscal year 2023 . Therefore, said company must complete in the first box on page 22 of Form 200 relating to the Special Reserve Regime for Investments in the Canary Islands (Law 19/1994) column "Advanced investments considered materialization of the RIC in this liquidation", in the row corresponding to RIC 2023 , for the amount that is considered to have materialized in 2023 due to the provision of the RIC, that is, 1,000 euros.

Company "B" must also complete the table relating to Advance investments. At the beginning of the 2023 financial year, the RIC is pending provision for an amount of 1,000 euros, due to the advance investment made in the 2022 financial year. For this reason, company "B" must complete column "Pending provision for RIC at the beginning of the period", in the row corresponding to RIC 2022 for an amount of 1,000 euros . The amount invested in 2022 was 1,000 euros and the allocation to the RIC in 2023 was 1,000 euros, so at the end of the 2023 financial year there is no pending allocation to RIC for any amount. For this reason, company "B" should not complete the column "Pending provision of RIC at the end of the period", in the row corresponding to Early Investments 2023.

In this way, the adjustment on page 13 and the table on page 22 of model 200 corresponding to the 2023 fiscal year will be completed as follows:
