Current position

Amounts received upon the dissolution and liquidation of a social welfare mutual fund are classified as employment income pursuant to article 17.2.a).4ª of Law 35/2006. For contributions made until December 31, 1998, the regime of the second transitional provision applies, integrating 75% if non-reduced contributions cannot be proven. For contributions made until December 31, 2006, it is possible to apply the 40% reduction if the payment is made as a lump sum and legal requirements are met.

The DGT's position remains constant across all analyzed rulings. No doctrinal change is observed, as all rulings agree on the classification of these amounts as employment income and on the application of the corresponding transitional regimes.
