Termination of usufruct upon death does not constitute a new acquisition of real estate

A taxpayer inquired whether the value of an inherited property is updated upon the death of the usufructuary and the subsequent consolidation of ownership. The Directorate General for Tax Affairs (DGT) ruled that the termination of usufruct does not constitute a new acquisition; rather, it is the recovery of rights of enjoyment, meaning the original acquisition date of the bare ownership remains unchanged.
