Special securities exchange regime applicable if TRLIS requirements and valid economic reasons are met

A query was raised regarding whether a capital increase involving the contribution of shares from other entities can qualify for the special securities exchange regime. The DGT indicates that this is possible provided that requirements concerning voting rights majorities and residency are met, and that the primary purpose of the transaction is not fraud or tax avoidance.

The question raised

Question posed: Whether the described operation may benefit from the special tax regime of Chapter VIII, Title VII of the Recast Text of the Corporate Income Tax Law approved by Royal Legislative Decree 4/2004, of March 5.

The DGT's ruling

To apply the special regime for the exchange of securities, the acquiring entity must obtain the majority of the voting rights in the participating entities. Likewise, the residency requirements for the partners and the acquiring entity provided for in Article 87 of the TRLIS must be met. Finally, the operation must not have the primary objective of tax fraud or evasion, and must respond to valid economic motives such as the restructuring or rationalization of activities.
