Temporary negative adjustments originating in previous years
In the event that the taxpayer has to make a correction to the result of the Profit and Loss Account that involves a negative temporary correction originating in previous years, when completing the corresponding box on pages 12 and 13, the breakdown table "Details of the corrections to the result of the profit and loss account (excluding corrections for Corporate Tax and Complementary Tax)" on page 20 bis of form 200 will be displayed simultaneously in the Sociedades WEB form. This information, once completed, will be grouped in the detailed table contained on pages 26 bis to 26 septies of form 200.
In this case, the box corresponding to temporary correction decreases originating in previous years in the section of the table dedicated to Corrections for the year must be completed.
Likewise, box Future decreases of temporary corrections must be completed in the columns corresponding to "Pending balance at the beginning of the year" and "Pending balance at the end of the year" because the positive adjustment at source reverses through negative extra-accounting adjustments, which entails future decreases in the tax base. Regarding the Future decreases box in column "Pending balance at the beginning of the fiscal year" , it must be filled in for the same amount was entered in the Future decrease box in the "Pending balance at the end of the fiscal year" column of the settlement of the previous tax period. On the other hand, regarding the column " Outstanding balance at the end of the fiscal year" the box for future decreases must be completed. The balance in this box will decrease until it reaches zero, when the total amount has been reversed.
For all the above, during the tax periods in which the correction reverses because it originates in previous years, in the part of the table corresponding to " Outstanding balance at the end of the year" , the box for Future decreases of Temporary corrections will decrease its value with respect to the Balance of the previous year by the amount of the negative correction for this year. For these purposes, the "Outstanding balance at the end of the year" will reflect the total amount pending reversal in subsequent years. Since this balance is included in the future decreases section, it indicates that this amount is reversing through negative extra-accounting adjustments.
Example:
Starting from the example presented in the case of a positive temporary correction originating in the fiscal year, we continue with the years 2026 to 2032.
Company “C” has acquired new machinery for an amount of 200,000 euros. The acquisition will be made on January 1, 2024, the date on which such elements will be made available to Company "C" and will begin operating. The financial year of Company "C" coincides with the calendar year. The residual value of the items is estimated to be insignificant, so the amortizable value coincides with the acquisition price.
The accounting provision for amortization is made by applying a coefficient of 50 percent, which the company estimates as effective depreciation of such elements. Company "C" decides to depreciate the machinery for tax purposes in accordance with the table contained in article 12.1.a) of the LIS , that is, it will apply a coefficient of 12 percent.
In application of the provisions of article 12.1 of the LIS, the following adjustments must be made in boxes [ ] and [00304] "Differences between accounting and tax amortization (art. 12.1 LIS)" on page 12 of form 200:
| Financial year | Accounting amortization | Tax amortization | Correction | Form 200 | Balance at the end of the year |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 200,000 x 50% = 100,000 | 200,000 x 12% = 24,000 | 76,000 | [00303] | -76,000.00 |
| 2025 | 200,000 x 50% = 100,000 | 200,000 x 12% = 24,000 | 76,000 | [00303] | -152,000.00 |
| 2026 | --- | 200,000 x 12% = 24,000 | -24,000 | [00304] | -128,000.00 |
| 2027 | --- | 200,000 x 12% = 24,000 | -24,000 | [00304] | -104,000.00 |
| 2028 | --- | 200,000 x 12% = 24,000 | -24,000 | [00304] | -80,000.00 |
| 2029 | --- | 200,000 x 12% = 24,000 | -24,000 | [00304] | -56,000.00 |
| 2030 | --- | 200,000 x 12% = 24,000 | -24,000 | [00304] | -32,000.00 |
| 2031 | --- | 200,000 x 12% = 24,000 | -24,000 | [00304] | -8,000.00 |
| 2032 | --- | 8.000 | -8.000 | [00304] | 0.00 |
Total tax amortization = 24,000 x 8 + 8,000 = 200,000
Total accounting depreciation = 100,000 + 100,000 = 200,000
The tax correction that will be carried out by Company "C" to determine the taxable base of the Corporate Tax corresponding to 2026 (to be collected in the box [00304]) will be the following:
| Accounting amortization | Tax amortization | Decrease in profit and loss account result |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | 200,000 x 12% = 24,000 | 24,000 |
In it fiscal year 2026, the machinery is amortized for accounting purposes, therefore, a is generated negative off-balance-sheet adjustment which must be recorded in the box [00304] of decreases, as a result of the reversion of the positive adjustment, by the amount of the tax amortization, that is, worth 24,000 euros. This is a Temporary negative correction originating from previous years .
In the WEB Companies form, in the period 2026, when box [00304] is to be filled in, the table on page 20 bis of form 200 will be displayed and the Decreases of " box must be filled inTemporary corrections originating in previous years» from the section of the table dedicated to "Financial year corrections" amounting to 24,000 euros. The form will transfer the completed information to box [02568] "Temporary (originating from previous years)" on page 26 bis of form 200.
Likewise, the section corresponding to " Outstanding balance at the beginning of the year" must be completed in the table on page 20 bis. As we are facing a positive adjustment at source, the box must be filled in Future decreases of Temporary corrections for the amount of 152,000 euros since this is the value of the box of future decline from the column of "Outstanding balance at the end of the fiscal year» of the fiscal year 2025, that is, the cumulative total for 2024 and 2025.
As for the part corresponding to "Outstanding balance at the end of the fiscal year», since it is a positive adjustment at source, the box must be filled in future decreases of Temporary corrections for the amount of 128,000 euros (152,000 – 24,000) which is the outstanding balance at the beginning of the financial year reduced by the reversed amount of 24,000 euros in the financial year 2026. The form will transfer the completed information to box [02570] "Outstanding balance at the end of the year" on page 26 bis of form 200.

In the exercises from 2027 to 2031, the adjustments will be the same as those outlined for 2026, with the difference that the "Outstanding balance at the end of the fiscal year», in the box of Future decreases of Temporary corrections, its amount will go decreasing in each financial year at a rate of 24,000 euros per year, until reaching 8,000 euros in 2031.
