Business succession does not imply multiple payers for income tax filing limits

A query was raised regarding whether a worker subject to business succession has one or two payers to determine their obligation to file an income tax return. The DGT ruled that, in such cases, the new employer maintains the status of the same employer.

The question raised

For the purpose of determining the obligation to file a tax return for the 2015 period, an inquiry is made regarding the existence of one or two payers as a consequence of business subrogation.

The DGT's ruling

In cases of business subrogation, the transferee maintains the status of the same employer for the purposes of determining the applicable withholding rate. Therefore, there is no existence of more than one payer for the purposes of the obligation to file a tax return. The threshold for not being required to file a tax return shall be 22,000 euros per annum for income from employment.
