a) Prizes obtained by participating in games, contests, raffles or random combinations .

The total amount to be declared for prizes in kind will be composed of the sum of the valuation of the prize received, which will be carried out at its market value, plus the payment on account, unless the latter has been passed on to the taxpayer. This amount may not be reduced, where applicable, by the costs of public deed and registration, as these constitute a higher acquisition value for the purposes of a future transfer of the prize received.
