Calculation of the taxable base (page 22 of form 200)

According to the provisions of article 16.1 of Law 20/1990, in order to determine the tax base, cooperative societies must separately consider cooperative and non-cooperative results.

Therefore, although article of Law 27/1999 of July on Cooperatives establishes that cooperative societies may opt in not to separately record non-cooperative results, the tax regime for cooperatives requires the tax base of these societies broken down into in order to settle the Corporation Tax: one corresponding to cooperative results and another to extra-cooperative results.

In order to determine their tax base, cooperative societies must transfer to boxes [00553] "Cooperative results" and [00554] "Non-cooperative results" on page 14 of form 200, the amount that they have entered in these same boxes, obtained from the breakdown of the tax base carried out in section "Cooperative regime" on page 22 of said form.

Keep in mind:

The result obtained in boxes [00553] and [00554] on page 22 of form 200 will automatically be transferred to the same boxes on page 14.

Consequently, box [00552] “Taxable Base” on page 13 of form 200 must be equal to the sum of boxes [00553] and [00554].

Cooperative societies will not obtain the amount in box [00552] "Tax base" in the manner indicated in the general liquidation of the Tax (see Chapter 5 of this Manual), but they must transfer with its sign, the amount in box [00550] "Tax base before application of the capitalization reserve and offsetting of negative tax bases" to box [00552].

Below is a detail how the tax base must be broken down in the special cooperative regime, following the structure included in the "Cooperative regime section on page 22 of form 200:

  1. Eligible income
  2. Specific expenses
  3. Allocated general expenses
  4. Education and Promotion Fund expenses
  5. Equity increases and decreases
  6. Result
  7. Increases (positive adjustments)
  8. Decreases (negative adjustments)
