How the DGT's position has evolved

Settled doctrine High confidence 86 rulings · 2020–2026

Current position

The dissolution of a community of property does not constitute a change in assets if the adjudication corresponds to the ownership share of each co-owner. In this case, the assets maintain their original values and acquisition dates. If assets are adjudicated at a value higher than said share, a change in assets occurs for the other co-owners, generating a capital gain or loss, regardless of whether economic compensation exists.

The DGT's position has remained constant since 2020. All analyzed rulings agree that adjudication in accordance with the ownership share does not alter the assets, whereas any excess over said share generates capital results. No changes or nuances in the applied doctrine are observed.
