Lifetime income donation subject to Inheritance and Gifts Tax

A taxpayer enquires about the tax treatment of a monthly lifetime income derived from their father's savings. The DGT responds that the transaction is subject to Inheritance and Gifts Tax, not Income Tax.

The question raised

Question posed: Taxation of the donation of a life annuity.

The DGT's ruling

The donation of a life annuity constitutes a taxable event for Inheritance and Gift Tax. The tax accrues at the moment the contract is perfected. In the absence of a specific valuation rule in the LISD, the capitalization method provided in Article 10.5.f) of the TRLITPAJD may be applied to determine the tax base.
