Exchange regime applicable if voting rights and residency requirements met and valid economic reasons exist

The consultant asks whether a reorganisation to establish a holding structure may qualify for the special exchange regime. The DGT responds that it is possible if majority voting rights and residency requirements are met, and if the operation has valid economic reasons beyond tax advantages.

The question raised

Question raised: Whether the described transaction could qualify for the tax regime provided for 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 the exchange of securities, the entity must acquire holdings that allow it to obtain the majority of voting rights and comply with the requirements of Article 80 of the LIS. Likewise, the transaction must respond to valid economic reasons, such as the restructuring or rationalization of activities, and must not have the primary objective of tax advantage. The reasons of asset reorganization, business growth, and professionalization of management may be considered valid pursuant to Article 89.2 of the LIS.
