Reinvestment exemption applicable if new home was purchased up to two years before selling the previous one

A taxpayer sold their primary residence after having purchased a new home with their partner two years prior. The Tax Agency confirmed that the reinvestment exemption applies because the new property was acquired within the two-year period preceding the sale of the old one.

The question raised

Question posed: Whether the exemption for reinvestment in a primary residence is applicable.

The DGT's ruling

In order for the gain from the sale of the primary residence to be exempt, the total amount must be reinvested in the acquisition of a new primary residence. This acquisition may take place within a period of two years prior to or following the transfer of the sold residence. Furthermore, both residences must meet the requirements to be considered a primary residence according to the Personal Income Tax Regulations.
