2% is not 20% of profit
Someone in direct estimation in agriculture, livestock, forestry or fishing does not apply 20% of year-to-date profit. The payment is 2% of the quarter’s income.
The quarter’s income, with exclusions
The base is that quarter’s income. Capital grants and compensation are excluded. From that 2% you deduct the same quarter’s withholdings. You do not start from year-to-date profit: that is the 20% formula.
- 2% of the quarter’s income.
- Left out: capital grants and compensation.
- Subtract: that quarter’s withholdings.
It has to be your regime
Factura Fácil calculates modelo 130 from the data you recorded. The result only fits if the profile is in the regime that applies to you. If your activity is not in this group, or you are on modules, this 2% is not your calculation. The app can prepare the file. It does not file the form.
