How the DGT's position has evolved

Settled doctrine High confidence 10 rulings · 2015–2015

Current position

Amounts from the settlement of a social welfare mutual fund are considered income from employment. For contributions made up to 1998, the second transitional provision applies, integrating the excess of non-reduced contributions or 75% of the benefit if it cannot be proven. For contributions made up to 2006, it is possible to apply the 40% reduction if received as a lump sum.

The DGT's position remains constant across all analyzed rulings. No changes are observed in the tax treatment of settlements or in the application of transitional provisions for the different periods of contribution.
