How the DGT's position has evolved

Stable position Low confidence 63 rulings · 2014–2026

Current position

The tax period of an entity ends with its extinction, which occurs through the registration of the cancellation of the registry entries with retroactive effects to the date of filing in the Mercantile Registry. The liquidation declaration must be filed within 25 calendar days following the expiration of the six months following the conclusion of said period.

The sequence of rulings does not show a doctrinal evolution on a single concept, but rather addresses liquidation from various tax perspectives (community property, IS, IVA, ITP, and deadlines). There is no change in criterion, but rather a dispersion of matters ranging from the determination of capital gains in the dissolution of community property companies to the management of extinction deadlines in Corporate Income Tax (IS).

Analysis based on 63 of 63 rulings with a stated position. Updated 22 September 2026.
