Form 100. Personal Income Tax Return 2021

10.4.2. For textbook acquisition costs

For the concept of expenses on textbooks published for the second cycle of early childhood education, primary education, compulsory secondary education, high school and specific vocational training cycles, 100% of the amounts allocated to those expenses will be deducted for each child who takes said studies.
