The 22,000 euro limit for filing tax returns in cases of business subrogation is maintained

The inquirer asks whether, following a business subrogation, they are considered to have two payers for the purpose of determining their obligation to file an IRPF tax return. The DGT responds that, in these cases, 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 for the 2014 period, an inquiry is made regarding the existence of one or two payers as a consequence of business subrogation.

The DGT's ruling

In cases of business subrogation, the transferee maintains the status of the same employer for the purpose of determining the applicable withholding rate. Therefore, the existence of more than one payer does not occur for the purposes of the threshold for the obligation to file. The limit for not filing a tax return shall be 22,000 euros per year for income from employment, provided that such income is not subject to a fixed withholding rate.
