The special merger regime may be applied if the transaction meets commercial requirements and has valid economic motives

A company inquires whether a merger transaction may qualify for the special tax regime under Corporate Income Tax. The DGT responds that it is possible if the requirements of the Law on Structural Modifications and Article 76.1.a) of the LIS are met, provided that its primary purpose is not tax fraud or evasion.

The question raised

Question raised 1) Whether the described transaction may qualify for the special tax regime under Chapter VII of Title VII of the Corporate Income Tax Law 27/2014, of November 27.

The DGT's ruling
