Transfer of assets via improvement pacts is not subject to Personal Income Tax as it is considered a gratuitous transfer mortis causa

The taxpayer inquired whether transferring investment funds and shares to their children through an improvement pact under Galician civil law triggers capital gains tax. The Directorate General for Taxes (DGT) ruled that, as it is a succession pact, it is considered a gratuitous transfer mortis causa, and therefore no capital gain or loss arises for Personal Income Tax purposes.
