How the DGT's position has evolved

Settled doctrine High confidence 36 rulings · 2014–2026

Current position

Benefits from collective insurance policies that implement pension commitments are considered income from employment and are not entitled to the 40% reduction if the contributions were made after 2006. In the case of the Mutualidad Laboral de Banca, contributions made between 1967 and 1978, as they were not deductible, must be included in the taxable base as income from employment at 75% according to the second transitional provision of the LIRPF.

The DGT's position remains constant in classifying these benefits as income from employment. A specialization is observed in the treatment of the Mutualidad Laboral de Banca, where the 75% integration is systematically applied for the 1967-1978 period. There are no changes in criterion, but rather a repeated application of the transitional regulations.
