Special share exchange regime applicable if TRLIS requirements and valid economic reasons are met

A parent company has enquired whether an acquisition of shares can qualify for the special share exchange regime. The DGT indicates this is possible provided that a majority of voting rights are obtained, residency requirements are met, and the transaction is driven by valid economic reasons rather than purely tax advantages.

The question raised

Question posed: Whether the described operation may benefit from the special tax regime of Chapter VIII, Title VII of the Consolidated Text of the Corporate Income Tax Law approved by Royal Legislative Decree 4/2004, of March 5.

The DGT's ruling

To apply the special regime for the exchange of securities, the entity must acquire holdings that allow it to obtain the majority of voting rights. The residency requirements for the partners and the acquiring entity provided for in Article 87 of the TRLIS must be met. Furthermore, the operation must not have fraud or tax evasion as its main objective, and must be based on valid economic reasons such as the restructuring or rationalization of activities.
