Non-cash contributions may apply under special regime if ownership and participation criteria are met

The consultant asks whether the contribution of shares from one entity to another may qualify for the special LIS regime. The DGT states that such a contribution may apply if the requirements of uninterrupted ownership for one year and a minimum participation of 5% are met, provided there are valid economic reasons.

The question raised

Question posed: Possibility of the transaction qualifying for the special tax regime regulated in Chapter VII of Title VII of Law 27/2014, of November 27, on Corporate Income Tax.

The DGT's ruling

To apply the special regime for non-monetary contributions, the receiving entity must be a resident in Spain or have a permanent establishment. The contributed shares must represent at least 5% of the entity's equity and must have been held uninterruptedly during the previous year. Furthermore, following the contribution, the contributor must maintain a stake of at least 5% in the receiving entity. The transaction must not have the primary objective of tax fraud or evasion, but must instead respond to valid economic reasons.
