How the DGT's position has evolved
Current position
To benefit from the tax neutrality regime in non-monetary contributions, the receiving entity must be a resident in Spain and the contributor must maintain a minimum participation of 5% in the equity of the receiver following the transaction. The securities received are valued at their tax value and their acquisition date is maintained. The transaction must respond to valid economic reasons and must not have the main purpose of obtaining a tax advantage.
The DGT's position remains stable regarding the substantive requirements for the non-monetary contribution regime, maintaining the 5% participation threshold and the requirement for valid economic reasons. A constant application of tax neutrality is observed in the valuation of the securities received. No changes in criterion are detected, but rather a reiteration of the residency and participation requirements.
