Settlement amounts from a social welfare mutual fund are taxed as employment income

A taxpayer has enquired about the tax treatment of amounts received following the dissolution and liquidation of their social welfare mutual fund. The Directorate General for Taxes (DGT) rules that these sums are classified as employment income and explains how to apply transitional tax regimes.

The question raised

Tax treatment corresponding to the amounts to be received as a consequence of the dissolution and liquidation of the social welfare mutual fund.

The DGT's ruling

The amounts received from the liquidation of a social welfare mutual fund constitute employment income pursuant to Article 17.2.a).4 of Law 35/2006. For contributions made until December 31, 1998, the regime of the second transitional provision applies, integrating into the taxable base the portion exceeding the non-reduced contributions. For contributions made until December 31, 2006, the 40 percent reduction may be applied if received as a lump sum and if more than two years have elapsed since the first contribution. The determination of the portion corresponding to each period must be based on the quotas paid and other income attributable to said quotas.
