The exemption for debt relief in lieu of payment cannot be applied if the transferred property is not the primary residence

The taxpayer inquires whether the debt relief in lieu of payment of a dwelling to cancel a mortgage is exempt from Personal Income Tax (IRPF). The DGT responds that the exemption only applies if the dwelling is the primary residence of the debtor.

The question raised

Question posed: Application of the exemption provided for in Article 33.4.d) of the Personal Income Tax Law.

The DGT's ruling

The exemption from capital gains tax for debt relief in lieu of payment of a mortgage debt requires that the dwelling be the primary residence of the debtor or guarantor. Since the dwelling subject to the transfer is not the primary residence, a capital gain or loss is generated. The transfer value shall be the amount of the extinguished credit and the acquisition value shall be that determined by the regulations.
