UK LLP classified as ERAR; 5% IRNR on Singapore interests under ES-Singapore CDI

A Singapore entity fully owned by the Singapore Ministry of Finance holds 100% of a UK LLP. The DGT classifies the UK LLP as an entity of rental attribution (ERAR), excluding it from UK residency for CDI ES-UK and Article 4.4 of the treaty. The ES-Singapore CDI applies to the Singapore entity, with a maximum 5% IRNR retained in Spain on interest paid by resident debtors, unless Article 11.3 exemptions apply, which the DGT considers unestablished.

The question raised

Cuestión planteada

The DGT's ruling

La UK LLP, al no estar sujeta a imposición en UK, no puede invocarel CDI ES-UK. El art. 4.4 CDI ES-UK tampoco aplica al no ser la consultante residente en UK. El CDI ES-Singapur permite a España gravar los intereses al máximo del 5% si la consultante es beneficiaria efectiva (art. 11.2), sin perjuicio del Protocolo del convenio y del art. 7.1 IML. La exención del art. 11.3.f) requiere acuerdo de autoridades competentes no alcanzado en la fecha de la consulta; la del art. 11.3.g) exige probar ser el Government of Singapore Investment Corporation, hecho no acreditado.
