Property leasing is an economic activity only if at least one full-time employee is hired

A query was raised regarding when income from property rentals is classified as income from economic activities for Personal Income Tax (IRPF) purposes. The Directorate General for Taxes (DGT) ruled that this only applies if at least one person is employed under a full-time employment contract.

The question raised

Question posed: When can it be understood, for the purposes of Personal Income Tax, that the income derived from the leasing of said real estate is considered income from economic activities

The DGT's ruling

For the leasing of real estate to constitute an economic activity, it is mandatory to employ at least one person under a full-time employment contract. If this minimum requirement of infrastructure and organization is not met, the income shall be classified as income from real estate capital. The contract must be classified as an employment contract in accordance with current labor regulations.
