Professional civil societies are not subject to Corporate Tax

A query was raised regarding whether a civil society performing notary services is liable for Corporate Tax. The DGT ruled that it is not, as professional activities are excluded from the commercial sphere.

The question raised

Question posed: Whether the consulting company will be a taxpayer for Corporate Income Tax purposes

The DGT's ruling

To be a taxpayer for Corporate Income Tax purposes, a civil society must have legal personality and a commercial purpose. A commercial purpose requires carrying out an economic activity of production, exchange, or provision of services in a non-excluded sector. Professional activities are excluded from the commercial scope. Therefore, the income from a notary office must be attributed to the titular notaries and not taxed under Corporate Income Tax.
