How the DGT's position has evolved

Settled doctrine High confidence 51 rulings · 2014–2026

Current position

Contributions to the protected assets of persons with disabilities must be made through a public document authorized by a notary or a judicial resolution. The special tax regime requires a prior election of the special financial regime to apply the tax base reduction limits. For persons with judicial incapacity, annual contributions by the person with a disability are limited to 24,250 euros, and those by family members are limited to 10,000 euros each.

The DGT's position has moved from addressing isolated aspects regarding the nature of the contributed assets to rigorously defining the formalities and limits of the special regime. The requirement for notary formality for subsequent contributions and the need for a prior election of the financial regime to access tax benefits have been consolidated.

Turning points

  1. V3113-23

    Establishes that contributions made after the initial constitution require a public document or judicial resolution, rejecting the use of deeds for future contributions.

  2. V0527-26

    Determines that the election of the special financial regime must be made prior to the contributions in order to apply the special tax regime and its increased limits.
