Grants for constructing business premises are recognised as income according to their depreciation

A self-employed individual requested clarification on how to tax a grant received for constructing a rural house and how the allocation of community property affects it. The DGT ruled that the grant constitutes income from economic activity and its recognition must follow the accounting rules for the depreciation of the asset.

The question raised

Question raised 1. Taxation of the subsidy received in the Personal Income Tax.

The DGT's ruling

The subsidy for the construction of a property intended for economic activity constitutes income from economic activity. Its allocation to results must be carried out in proportion to the depreciation allowance of the asset or when its disposal or write-off occurs. If the property is community property, it is considered an asset assigned to the holder's activity, allowing for the deduction of its expenses and even its depreciation, but without the allocation of capital income to the spouse being applicable.
