Questions & Answers about La deducción fiscal reduce el resultado de la declaración.

Why does the sentence use la in la deducción fiscal and la declaración?

In Spanish, it is very common to use the definite article where English might not.

Here:

• la deducción fiscal = the tax deduction
• la declaración = the tax return / the declaration

Spanish often prefers the article when talking about a concept, category, or specific item understood from context. So even if English might say Tax deductions reduce the result of a tax return, Spanish naturally uses la in this kind of general statement.

Also, both nouns are feminine singular:

• deducción → feminine
• declaración → feminine

So the article is la in both cases.

Why is it deducción fiscal and not fiscal deducción?

In Spanish, adjectives usually come after the noun, unlike in English.

So:

• deducción fiscal = tax deduction
• literally: deduction fiscal

This is the normal word order in Spanish:

• casa grande = big house
• reforma laboral = labour reform
• deducción fiscal = tax deduction

Putting fiscal before the noun would sound unusual here.
