Settled doctrine High confidence 53 rulings · 2020–2024

Current position

In the case of advance collection of retirement benefits due to collective redundancy, the contingency occurs when the requirements for said collection are met (termination of the employment relationship and unemployment status). The period for applying the 40% reduction on contributions made prior to 2007 is determined according to the fiscal year in which said contingency occurs, allowing collection in the year of occurrence or in the two following years.

The DGT's position is constant regarding the advance collection of pension plans due to collective redundancy. Since 2023, rulings confirm that the contingency occurs when the liquidity requirements are met and not upon accessing retirement through the Social Security system. No changes are observed in the interpretation of the calculation of periods for the 40% reduction.

Analysis based on 53 of 53 rulings with a stated position. Updated 18 September 2026.
