The allocation of real estate to a co-owner at a value exceeding their share generates a capital gain

A taxpayer asks whether the allocation of their share of a dwelling to their ex-wife following a divorce generates a capital gain for Personal Income Tax (IRPF) purposes. The DGT responds that, as the asset is allocated at a value higher than the ownership share, an asset alteration occurs which generates a gain or loss.

The question raised

Question posed: Taxation in the IRPF of the resulting capital gain.

The DGT's ruling

The dissolution of a community of property does not constitute an asset alteration if the allocation conforms to the ownership share. However, if assets are attributed at a value greater than that corresponding to the share, a capital gain or loss is generated for the other co-owner. The amount is determined by the difference between the acquisition and transfer values, and is included in the savings tax base.
