Transaction may qualify for special Corporate Tax regime and VAT exemption if requirements are met

A company has consulted whether its restructuring, aimed at concentrating real estate and productive activity, can benefit from the special merger regime for Corporate Tax purposes and VAT non-subjectivity due to the transfer of a business. The DGT indicates this is possible provided the transaction is driven by valid economic reasons and constitutes an autonomous economic unit.

The question raised

Question raised 1) Whether the described transaction can qualify for the special tax regime of Chapter VIII, Title VII of the Recast Text of the Corporate Income Tax Law approved by Royal Legislative Decree 4/2004, of March 5.

The DGT's ruling

In Corporate Income Tax, the transaction could qualify for the special regime if carried out under the Structural Changes Law and complies with Article 83.1 of the TRLIS, provided its primary purpose is not fraud or tax advantage. For VAT, the transfer could be not subject to tax if it constitutes an autonomous economic unit capable of carrying out an activity by its own means. For leased real estate, an organizational structure of production factors is required to avoid the mere transfer of assets.
