Reinvestment exemption limited to the purchase of a single primary residence

A query was raised regarding whether proceeds from the sale of a primary residence can be reinvested into the purchase of two separate properties. The Directorate General for Tax (DGT) has ruled that the exemption applies exclusively to the acquisition of a single primary residence.

The question raised

Question posed: Whether the reinvestment of the amount obtained from the transfer of the primary residence could be realized through the acquisition of two residences.

The DGT's ruling

The reinvestment must be carried out in a single primary residence, whether acquired within the two years prior to or the two years following the transfer. The amount obtained may only be allocated to one residence; therefore, it is not possible to apply the exemption to the acquisition of two distinct residences. The purchase of a second residence is not considered an expansion of the primary residence for these purposes.
