No tax in Spain for direct US pension to IRA transfer

A retiree asks whether transferring US pension funds to an IRA or a Spanish pension plan triggers Spanish taxation. The DGT states that direct transfers to a US pension fund (such as an IRA) are tax-free in Spain, but if the contributor receives the funds or moves them to Spain, it is considered income from employment.

The question raised

Cuestión planteada Posibilidad de que las cantidades sean transferidas a un "Individual Retirement Account" en Estados Unidos o a un plan de pensiones en España sin consecuencias fiscales.
