Loss of exemption on unemployment benefits when transitioning from self-employed to a limited liability company

A taxpayer inquired whether incorporating a limited liability company to carry out the same activity previously performed as a self-employed individual would affect the exemption of their lump-sum unemployment benefit. The DGT responds that this change breaks the requirement to maintain the activity for five years.

The question raised

Question posed: Impact on the exemption established in Article 7.n) of the Tax Law of the circumstance of transitioning from working as a self-employed individual to incorporating a limited liability company to carry out the same activity.

The DGT's ruling

The change from performing an activity as a self-employed individual to incorporating a limited liability company to develop it breaches the right to exemption under Article 7.n) of the LIRPF. The taxpayer must regularize their tax situation in the IRPF self-assessment for the period in which the failure to meet the requirement of maintaining the activity for five years occurs. This regularization must include the amounts previously considered exempt.
