Voluntary accounting revaluation of real estate has no tax effects for Corporate Income Tax

A real estate company has requested clarification regarding the tax treatment of a voluntary accounting revaluation of a property intended to reflect its fair value. The Directorate General of Taxes (DGT) has ruled that, as there is no legal requirement to perform such a revaluation, it carries no tax consequences.

The question raised

Question raised: It is questioned what the treatment and the tax effects of this voluntary accounting revaluation could be.

The DGT's ruling

If a voluntary revaluation of assets is carried out without the support of a legal or regulatory norm, it has no effects for Corporate Income Tax purposes. No income is generated in the taxable base and the revalued assets maintain their previous tax value. Therefore, the income and expenses derived from said assets shall be determined based on the previous value, requiring adjustments to the accounting result.
