How the DGT's position has evolved
Current position
The dissolution of a company through a court order generates a capital loss based on the difference between the acquisition value of the shares and their liquidation quota. This loss must be attributed to the tax period in which the change in assets occurs, a moment identified with the court order of dissolution. As this is savings income, its integration and offsetting are governed by the specific regulations of the Personal Income Tax (IRPF).
The DGT's position has consolidated around the moment of the change in assets. While in 2017 the attribution was linked to dissolution and liquidation, more recent rulings (V2287-24 to V5361-26) specify that the change occurs specifically with the court order that agrees the dissolution, even in insolvency proceedings.
