How the DGT's position has evolved
Current position
The reduction provided by the ninth transitional provision allows for the reduction of the capital gains generated before January 20, 2006, for assets acquired before December 31, 1994. The calculation requires determining the gain generated during said period, respecting the limit of 400,000 euros for the total transfer value of assets covered by this regime. The taxpayer must prove the acquisition value and the acquisition date through valid means of evidence.
The DGT's position remains constant regarding the application of the reduction for assets acquired before 1995. Rulings have increasingly specified the calculation methods for different assets, such as shares or real estate, and the need to prove acquisition values and dates. No changes in the substance of the criterion are observed, but rather a technical application to different scenarios.
Turning points
