Proportional total split may qualify for tax neutrality if not for fraud

A company asks whether a total split of its assets into three new entities may apply to the special merger regime. The DGT states that if commercial requirements are met and the allocation is proportional, tax neutrality could apply as long as it is not for fraud or evasion.

The question raised

Question posed: Whether the proposed operation can qualify for the special merger regime of Law 27/2014, of November 27, on Corporate Income Tax.

The DGT's ruling

If the spin-off is carried out within the commercial sphere and the partners receive shares in the new entities in proportion to their previous holding, the operation could qualify for the tax neutrality regime under Chapter VII of Title VII of the LIS. In this case, the income would not be integrated into the transferring entity or the partners, and the values and seniority of the assets would be maintained. However, the regime will not apply if the primary objective is tax fraud or evasion, or if a spurious tax advantage is sought.
