Notes

Short notes on recent Spanish tax developments.

  1. Note

    Home entry under article 113 of the LGT: the court order must give specific reasons for digital access

  2. Note

    Law 49/2002 regime and non-resident foundations: prior election and formal notification, no shortcuts

  3. Note

    Video-game virtual currency and VAT: the CJEU confines the Hedqvist doctrine and returns the transaction to the general regime

  4. Note

    VELCRO: no beneficial owner, neither the Directive exemption nor the reduced treaty rate

  5. Note

    Beckham regime: the prior five-year period is measured in tax residence, not in physical presence

  6. Note

    Family business: negative income from other economic activities does not enter the denominator of the 50%

  7. Note

    Criminal Chamber of the Spanish Supreme Court and the tax-residence certificate: a presumption that yields to compelling evidence

  8. Note

    Penalties under article 171.One.4 of the VAT Act for reverse charge: the proportionality doctrine stands

  9. Note

    Notification at the tax domicile despite the designation of a representative: the TEAC sets a unified criterion under the purpose-achieved rule

  10. Note

    Mixed holding and intragroup transfer of shares: differentiated sector under VAT, save an autonomous economic unit

  11. Note

    Tax self-assessment: rectification under article 120.3 of the LGT as the ordinary review channel

  12. Note

    International remote work from Spain: the Beckham regime opens, but the risk zone is the employer

  13. Note

    Restructuring into a holding: prior subsidiary remuneration does not count towards the 50% family-business test

  14. Note

    Total demerger to prepare generational handover: valid economic reason under the FEAC regime
