Business subrogation does not imply multiple payers for IRPF filing threshold purposes

A query was raised regarding whether a worker undergoing business subrogation due to a change in the contract awardee has one or two payers for determining their IRPF (Personal Income Tax) filing obligation. The DGT ruled that, due to the subrogation of rights and obligations, the new employer maintains the status of the same employer, and the existence of more than one payer is not considered.

The question raised

For the purpose of determining the obligation to file a tax return for the 2013 period, an inquiry is made regarding the existence of one or two payers as a consequence of business subrogation.

The DGT's ruling

In the event of business subrogation, the transferee maintains the status of the same employer for the purpose of determining the withholding rate and the existence of multiple payers. Therefore, there is no existence of more than one payer for the purposes of the obligation to file a tax return. The threshold for not being required to file a return remains at 22,000 euros per annum for income from employment.
