The DGT's ruling

For the classification of the activity, the values included in its mandatory investment coefficient are not counted in the SCR. The remaining holdings in other ECR may only be excluded as values if they grant at least 5% of voting rights, are held to direct and manage the holding with material and personal means, and the investee is not a wealth management entity. Regarding the business use, the assets of the mandatory investment coefficient could be considered necessary for the activity, but for the remaining assets, their necessity must be assessed according to the Personal Income Tax regulations.
