Lease with an option to purchase generates two distinct changes in assets for Personal Income Tax purposes

The inquirer wishes to lease a property including a purchase option for the lessee. The DGT responds that this constitutes two distinct events: the granting of the option and the subsequent sale and purchase.

The question raised

Question posed: Tax treatment in Personal Income Tax regarding the amounts received by the inquirer as a consequence of the aforementioned lease.

The DGT's ruling

If the lease is not an economic activity, the income is classified as income from real estate capital. The granting of the purchase option is a change in assets that generates a gain in general income at the time of its formalization. The subsequent sale and purchase resulting from the exercise of the option is another change in assets that generates a gain or loss in the savings base. If agreed upon, the lease income and the option price are deducted from the transfer price to calculate the final gain.
