Taxpayers who carry out economic activities in direct estimation will have the right to a deduction in the total tax for the net operating income that is allocated to the investment reserve, provided that these come from economic activities carried out through establishments located in the Canary Islands.

The amount of this deduction is variable and is determined by applying the average tax rate (sum of the average general and regional tax rates, boxes [0534] and [0535 ] of the declaration) to the allocations of net operating income for the year that are allocated to the Reserve for investments in the Canary Islands, provided for in article 27 of Law 19/1994, of July 6, amending the Economic and Fiscal Regime of the Canary Islands.

Limits on deduction

The amount of this deduction may not exceed 80 percent of the part of the full tax that proportionally corresponds to the amount of net operating income from establishments located in the Canary Islands.

In joint taxation, the maximum limit of the deduction is applied individually to each of the spouses , if both are entitled to the deduction, without this application being able to result in a deduction greater than 80% of the total amount.
