Tax Incentives for SMEs: Can Your Business Benefit?

Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) classified as Small Business Entities (SBEs) in Spain can access tax incentives designed to ease their tax burden and support business growth. These benefits help enhance liquidity and financial stability, facilitating investment and expansion.

What are the eligibility requirements?

To qualify for these incentives, a company must meet a key criterion:

Annual turnover below €10 million in the preceding tax year.

If a business surpasses this threshold, it may continue applying these tax incentives for up to three more years, provided it met the conditions in the two previous financial years.

Key tax benefits

Tax Base Equalisation Reserve
This allows businesses to reduce their taxable base by up to 10%, capped at €1 million. This creates a financial buffer to offset lower-income years.

Accelerated Depreciation
SMEs can amortise new tangible fixed assets and real estate investments more quickly, reducing their taxable base in the early years of asset ownership.

Bad Debt Deduction
Estimated losses due to customer insolvency are deductible, helping safeguard business liquidity and reducing tax liability.

Double Depreciation Rate
A multiplier of 2 can be applied to the maximum depreciation rate allowed, enabling faster cost recovery on investments.

How is turnover calculated?

Net revenue, excluding VAT, adjusted for refunds, rebates, and discounts.
If the business is part of a corporate group, the total combined turnover of all affiliated entities is considered.
For first-year businesses, turnover is annualised.

 

Conclusion

These tax incentives provide a valuable opportunity to optimise tax liability and foster sustainable SME growth.
