Special tax regime for total demergers may apply if commercial requirements and valid economic reasons are met

A company specialising in property leasing has enquired whether its total demerger operation can qualify for the special tax regime. The DGT has ruled that if the operation complies with commercial regulations and is supported by valid economic reasons, said regime may be applied.

The question raised

Question raised 1) Whether the described operation may qualify for the special tax regime of Chapter VIII, Title VII of the Recast Text of the Corporate Income Tax Law approved by Royal Legislative Decree 4/2004, of March 5.

The DGT's ruling

To apply the special regime for total demerger under the TRLIS, the operation must comply with the concept of total demerger established in Law 3/2009. If the partners receive shares in the beneficiary entities in proportion to their previous holding, it is not necessary for the assets to constitute business lines. Furthermore, the operation must be carried out for valid economic reasons and not with the primary objective of tax fraud or evasion.
