Default correct expressions

Hi,

could you please correct the following sentence (especially the highlighted part):

I declare that I did not work anywhere in the period from ......................... to ........................, did not receive any taxable income and therefore did not claim any non-taxable parts of the tax base according to Section xx, paragraph xx, letter xx of Act no. xxx.

Thank you very much.

Hanka

Yes. In our country these are items in a tax return which reduce the tax base. E.g. if you donate blood or if you have a spouse and children etc.

OK, then just put in what you call them. We call them tax deductions and/or credits.
