Transforming a worker-owned company into a limited company does not result in the loss of unemployment exemption

A query was raised regarding whether transforming a worker-owned company (sociedad laboral) into a limited company (sociedad limitada) within five years voids the exemption for unemployment benefits received as a lump sum. The Directorate General for Taxes (DGT) ruled that such a transformation does not breach the requirement to maintain the investment.
