The taxpayer asks whether contributing assets to a US trust constitutes a taxable transfer. The DGT rules that, as the concept of a trust is not recognised in Spain, such contributions have no tax effects and transfers are considered to be made directly from the settlor to the beneficiary.
Cuestión planteada Primera: Si la aportación de bienes al "trust", formalizada a través del Documento de Constitución y del Documento de Aportación, produjo o no alguna transmisión de bienes a efectos fiscales, de manera que en caso de que posteriormente se formalice la donación de todo o parte de los bienes aportados al "trust" en un documento al efecto en el que los beneficiarios acepten la donación, se producirá una transmisión inter vivos directamente del "grantor" a aquellos beneficiarios que hayan aceptado la donación, considerándose por lo tanto aplicables los coeficientes establecidos para el Grupo II, al tratarse de una transmisión a favor de descendientes del "grantor".
Al no estar reconocida la figura del trust en el ordenamiento español, se tiene por no constituido y no surten efectos sus relaciones jurídicas. Las aportaciones de bienes al trust no producen, en principio, efectos fiscales. Las transmisiones de bienes o rendimientos ordenadas por el trustee a favor de los beneficiarios se consideran transmisiones directas del grantor al beneficiario. No obstante, si el beneficiario es también trustee, debe valorarse si sus facultades de disposición equivalen a la titularidad para determinar si la transmisión se produjo con la aportación.
