* Labeling
Repayment of paid funds/loans, etc. can only be completed when the amounts were subject to a presumption in the year in which they were granted. In particular, a repayment of company or share capital or a loan amount repaid by the borrower can be declared only if in the years in which these amounts were granted (as paid-up capital for the purchase of a business, the establishment of or participation in a capital increase, the purchase of securities, the granting of loans to anyone), they constituted expenditure on the acquisition of assets and were correctly declared and therefore taken into account in determining the income of the year in which they were paid. Otherwise, any amount paid shall reduce such amounts and only any difference arising shall be shown. In the case of a sale of shares within the tax year under consideration, the amount corresponding to the return of the invested capital shall be entered, provided that they were acquired from 1.1.2014 onwards, while any gain, which constitutes income, shall be entered either in sub-table 4E (if taxable) or in Table 6 (if not taxable), as the case may be.

The amounts indicated must be supported by appropriate supporting documents, where applicable.
