Questions & Answers about La reducción fiscal afecta a la base liquidable.

Why is there la before reducción and la before base liquidable?

In Spanish, the definite article is often used more than in English, especially with general or technical concepts.

So:

• La reducción fiscal = the tax reduction / tax relief
• la base liquidable = the taxable base / assessable base

Even if English might sometimes omit the, Spanish often keeps it.

Also, both nouns are feminine singular:

• reducción → feminine
• base → feminine

So they both take la.
