Compensation for the expropriation of a leasehold right constitutes a capital gain

A tenant receives compensation due to expropriation resulting from an urban planning scheme. The DGT rules that this payment is a capital gain subject to the transitional regime of the Personal Income Tax Law.

The question raised

Question posed: Tax treatment of said compensation in the Personal Income Tax.

The DGT's ruling

The compensation received for the expropriation of leasehold rights constitutes an alteration in the composition of the assets which generates a capital gain. As it concerns a right acquired before December 31, 1994, the ninth transitional provision of the Personal Income Tax Law applies. This provision establishes a reduction regime for the portion of the gain generated prior to January 20, 2006. The gain must be included in the savings tax base.
