IRPF · exención por reinversión

Reinvestment exemption requires three years of residence and full ownership, except in exceptional circumstances

A taxpayer asks whether they can apply for the reinvestment exemption for their main residence after exercising a call option. The DGT rules that for a property to be considered a main residence, the taxpayer must have held full ownership for at least three continuous years.

The question raised

Question posed: Possibility of applying the reinvestment exemption for the primary residence for Personal Income Tax (IRPF) purposes.

The DGT's ruling

For the exemption, the property must be the effective residence for a minimum period of three continuous years from the acquisition of full ownership. This period may only be excepted if circumstances arise that necessarily require a change of residence, which must be proven before the Administration. If the transfer occurs before completing three years of ownership, it is not considered a primary residence unless such indispensable necessity is justified.
