Transmitted value of non-traded shares must be market value or, alternatively, the higher of net worth or capitalisation

The consultant asks how to calculate the capital gain from the sale of shares in a non-listed company and whether the special valuation rule in article 37.1.b) applies to the acquisition value. Tax authority responds that the transmission value shall be the actual market value if proven, and that special valuation rules do not affect the original acquisition value since the seller was a non-resident.

The question raised

Question posed: Calculation of the capital gain corresponding to the transfer of shares, and whether the provisions of the aforementioned article 37.1.b) would be applicable to the acquisition value of the shares, which states that "The transfer value thus calculated shall be taken into account to determine the acquisition value of the securities or shares corresponding to the acquirer".

The DGT's ruling

For the transfer of securities not admitted to trading, the transfer value shall be the actual amount paid, provided it is proven to correspond to the market value; otherwise, it shall be the higher of the net equity value or the capitalization value. The rule stating that the calculated transfer value serves to determine the acquirer's acquisition value does not apply to the taxpayer, as their previous acquisition was made from a non-resident who was not a taxpayer of Personal Income Tax (IRPF).
