By connecting factors can understand the criterion of a political, social or economic, selected by being endowed with powers of taxation, in this case the Republic, under which, that beyond the mere exercise of sovereignty which is vested with the exercise, to be justified and legitimate birth a legal relationship between him-tax and taxable.

• It adopts the principle of global income, as regards natural or legal persons domiciled in the country. These pay Income Tax from any source, regardless of its source. The subjective factor of the internal connection is adopted by the legislature, coexisting with territoriality.
• In the case of natural persons and legal entities not domiciled, adopting the real connecting factor or objective territoriality, resulting taxable income solely as a source or cause to happen in the country. This applies in cases where the taxpayer has no fixed base (BF) or EP.
• If it is a natural or legal person not domiciled, but BF and EP in the country, those will have to pay taxes only on income or foreign source attributable to that BF or EP.
