1. The total amount, less double taxation deductions and bonuses (box [00582] "Positive adjusted total amount" on page 14 of form 200), is 100,000 euros.

2. The following deductions from previous periods are pending application:

   • Exercise 2015: For investment of profits: 20,000 euros.

   • Exercise 2016: For research and development expenses: 2,000 euros.

   • Fiscal year 2017 For donations to UNICEF : 1,000 euros.

3. During the 2024 financial year, you made an investment in a Spanish film production made in the Canary Islands, which, in accordance with Law 20/1991, entitles you to a deduction of €2,000.

The amount of the deduction for research and development activities corresponding to expenses and investments made in the 2024 financial year amounts to 21,000 euros (exceeding 10 percent of the total 2024 tax rate reduced by deductions to avoid double taxation and bonuses). In fiscal year 2024, it will not invest in technological innovation.

Net share calculation :

Total amount, less deductions for double taxation and bonuses = 100,000 euros

(-) Deductions applied = 52,000 euros

Net share (box [00592]) = 48,000 euros

Notes to the example:

⁽¹⁾ The joint limit of deductions in Chapter IV of Title VI of the LIS amounts to 50,000 euros. In accordance with the provisions of article 39 of the LIS it is raised from 25 to 50 percent on the positive adjusted integral quota, as the amount of the deduction for research and development activities and technological innovation exceeds 10 percent of said amount. ^{(back to research 2015) (return creation) (return participation) (return innovation) (back to research 2020)}

⁽²⁾ The limit applicable according to Law 20/1991 amounts to 90 percent of the total positive adjusted quota (90,000 euros). ^(Back)

⁽³⁾ This deduction cannot be applied in its entirety because it exceeds the aforementioned joint limit. ^(Back)
