Income tax return required for movable capital income subject to foreign withholding tax

A taxpayer inquired whether interest from a bank deposit in Portugal, subject to withholding tax in that country, necessitates filing an income tax return. The Directorate General for Taxes (DGT) ruled that the exemption from the obligation to file for income subject to withholding tax does not apply if the withholding was not carried out in Spain.
