Financial partial demergers may qualify for special tax regime if commercial requirements are met

A consulting entity has enquired whether a series of financial partial demerger operations can benefit from the special Corporate Tax regime. The DGT has ruled that this is possible provided that commercial regulations are satisfied and that the business branches possess distinct material and human resource organisations.

The question raised

Question posed: Whether the described operations could qualify for the special tax regime provided for in Chapter VII of Title VII of Law 27/2014, of November 27, on Corporate Income Tax.

The DGT's ruling

For a partial financial spin-off to qualify for the special regime, the segregated assets must constitute an autonomous economic unit and the demerged entity must maintain a line of business. This line of business requires an organization of distinct material and human resources for each activity prior to the operation. Furthermore, the operation must not have fraud or tax evasion as its primary objective, but rather valid economic motives such as the restructuring or rationalization of activities.
