Awarding an asset at a value exceeding the ownership share generates a capital gain or loss

A query was raised regarding whether the dissolution of a hereditary community through the award of a property to one sibling, with the others being compensated in cash, triggers Personal Income Tax (IRPF). The Directorate General of Taxes (DGT) ruled that awarding assets at a value higher than the ownership share does indeed constitute a capital alteration.

The question raised

Question raised: Taxation of the operation in the Personal Income Tax.

The DGT's ruling

The dissolution of a community of property does not generate a capital gain or loss if the allocation corresponds to the ownership share. However, if assets are allocated at a value higher than the corresponding share, an alteration of assets occurs for the other co-owners. This alteration generates a capital gain or loss, regardless of whether there is cash compensation.
