What enters income tax

A deductible expense has to relate to the activity, be justified, and be recorded. There is no closed list. The RETA quota is the contribution for that activity: 100% of the amount enters income-tax profit. The VAT deduction is 0%, because the quota has no VAT to subtract on modelo 303. The official amount comes from the Tesorería General de la Seguridad Social (TGSS). The app does not file the quota with Social Security.

  • Income tax: 100% of the quota.
  • VAT: 0%.
  • TGSS is the source of the amount.

How it gets recorded

You can save each month’s amount with no VAT, in the taxes category. If you turn on the automatic expense, the entry appears on day 1 for the amount you saved, and you can backfill missing months. You confirm the record. It is not a tax opinion and it does not replace your gestoría. How it meets the quarter is in modelos 303 and 130 and deductible expenses.
