How the DGT's position has evolved

Settled doctrine High confidence 22 rulings · 2014–2019

Current position

Natural persons are exempt from the fee for the exercise of jurisdictional power. In the insolvency field, the insolvency administrator does not act in their own name; therefore, the exemption for actions in the interest of the estate applies following judicial authorization. Public bodies dependent on Local Entities enjoy the exemption, but local commercial companies, being subject to private law, do not.

The DGT's position remains stable regarding the application of subjective exemptions and specific taxable events. The scope of the exemption for natural persons in homeowners' associations has been specified, as well as the nature of the exempt subjects in the insolvency and local spheres. No doctrinal shifts are observed, but rather clarifications regarding the legal personality of the subjects.

Turning points

  1. V0790-15

  2. V1902-16

    Establishes that the insolvency administrator does not apply the exemption by acting in their own name, but does apply the exemption for actions in the interest of the estate following judicial authorization.
