Subdivision option in cases of change of residence (art. 19.1 LIS)

With effect for tax periods beginning on or after 1 January 2021 , is replaced in cases of change of residence of an entity to a Member State of the European Union or the European Economic Area that has entered into an agreement with Spain or the European Union on mutual assistance in the collection of tax credits, the possibility that the taxpayer had to defer payment of the tax debt resulting from the application of the provisions of the first paragraph of article 19.1 of the LIS , until the affected assets were transferred to third parties, by the possibility of splitting said payment , also at the request of the taxpayer, by equal annual fifths .

The exercise of option will be carried out exclusively in the Corporate Tax return corresponding to the tax period concluded on the occasion of the change of residence, taking into account that the payment of the first fraction must be made within the voluntary declaration period corresponding to said tax period. The maturity and enforceability of the four remaining annual fractions , will be demanded together with the late payment interest accrued by each of them, successively after one year from the end of the voluntary declaration period corresponding to the last tax period. Furthermore, the constitution of guarantees will be required when there is justified evidence that the collection of the debt could be frustrated or seriously hindered.

The fractionation will lose its validity in the following cases:

  1. When the affected assets are transferred to third parties.

  2. When the affected assets are subsequently transferred to a third State other than those indicated in the second paragraph of article 19.1 of the LIS.

  3. When the taxpayer subsequently transfers his tax residence to a third State other than those indicated in the second paragraph of article 19.1 of the LIS.

  4. When the taxpayer is in liquidation or is involved in a collective enforcement procedure, such as bankruptcy, or any equivalent procedure.

  5. When the taxpayer does not make the payment within the period specified in the installment payment.

In the event that entity pays taxes to one or more Provincial Councils of the Autonomous Community of the Basque Country and/or the Foral Community of Navarre , boxes [02480] "Amount included in the tax base (D.

Liquid to be entered

Within the voluntary period for filing the Corporate Tax return, the entity may modify the amount of the installment declared in the original self-assessment, provided that more is to be paid, by filing a supplementary self-assessment. In order to modify the amount of the declared installment and calculate the difference to be paid with respect to the amount of the installment declared in the original self-assessment, the entity must complete within section "Option of installment payment in cases of change of residence (art. 19.1 LIS)" on page 14 bis of form 200, section "Liquid to be paid" in the manner detailed below:

Forales/Navarra)» on page 14 bis of the original self-assessment.

  • In the event that the entity pays taxes exclusively to the State Administration, in box [02489] "Net to be paid including the 1st installment of art. 19.1 LIS (State)", the amount resulting from subtracting from box [02485] "Self-assessment result including the 1st installment of art. 19.1 LIS (State)", the amount in box [02487] "Supplementary: Result of the self-assessment including the first installment of art. 19.1 LIS from previous self-assessments corresponding to the 2021 tax period (State)».

    In the event that the entity pays taxes to one or more Provincial Councils of the Autonomous Community of the Basque Country and/or the Foral Community of Navarre, in box [03242] "Liquid to be paid including the 1st installment of art. 19.1 LIS (D.

If the entity does not submit said supplementary self-assessment, the amount entered in boxes [02489] and [03242] will coincide with that entered in boxes [02485] and [02486].

Example:

Company "A", which does not carry out operations in the autonomous regions, has obtained profits of 60,000 euros in 2021 from its activity. On December 31 of that same year, he moved his residence from Spain to France and decided to apply the fractionation of part of the tax debt under the terms described in article 19.1 of the LIS. Its assets include machinery with a market value of 15,000 euros, but which is valued for tax purposes at 10,000 euros. This machinery will be moved to France for continued use in its activity. How should company "A" complete Form 200 to opt for said splitting?

Answer:

Firstly, in order to opt for the splitting of part of the tax debt under the terms provided for in article 19.1 of the LIS, Company "A" must check box [00037] "Splitting option at. 19.1 LIS» on page 1 of form 200 corresponding to the 2021 fiscal year, as this is the last tax period in which said company will be a taxpayer of Corporate Tax.

In addition, Company "A" must make a permanent positive correction to the result of the profit and loss account for an amount of 5,000 euros, which is the result of the difference between the market value and the tax value in accordance with article 19.1 of the LIS. This correction must be recorded in the increases box [01572] "Change of residence to Member States of the European Union or EEA (art. 19.1 LIS)" on page 12 of form 200, according to the following calculations:

Market value: 15,000 euros

Tax value: 10,000 euros

Difference in value: 5,000 euros

Box [01572] “Change of residence to Member States of the European Union or EEA (art. 19.1 LIS)”: + 5,000 euros

Company "A" has completed its self-assessment, recording the following data:

Profit and loss account result: 60,000 euros

Correction to the profit and loss account result: + 5,000 euros

Taxable base: 65,000 euros

Tax rate: 25%

Full share: 16,250 euros

Self-assessment result (box [01586]): 16,250 euros

Liquid to be entered or returned (box [00621]): 16,250 euros

Company "A", having opted to split part of the tax debt under the terms set forth in article 19.1 of the LIS, will also have to complete the section "Option of splitting in cases of change of residence (art. 19.1 LIS)" on page 14 bis of form 200, although, for the calculation of box [02481] "Tax debt resulting from splitting art. 19.1 LIS» Company «A» will need to separately calculate the amount in box [01586] «Self-assessment result (State)» with the same data contained in the self-assessment, but without including the amount of the adjustment recorded in box [01572] «Change of residence to Member States of the European Union or EEA (art. 19.1 LIS)» on page 12 of form 200 for an amount of 5,000 euros. In this way, the amount to be filled in box [02481] will be the result of subtracting from box [01586] "Self-assessment result (Status)" on page 14 bis contained in this self-assessment, the amount of the same box of the self-assessment calculated separately without including the adjustment that gives rise to this fractionation according to article 19.1 of the LIS.

Therefore, the calculation that Company "A" must perform separately will be the following:

Profit and loss account result: 60,000 euros

Correction to the profit and loss account result: 0

Taxable base: 60,000 euros

Tax rate: 25%

Full share: 15,000 euros

Self-assessment result (box [01586]): 15,000 euros

Liquid to be entered or returned (box [00621]): 15,000 euros

Taking these details into account, Company “A” must enter in box [02481] “Tax debt resulting from the fractionation of art. 19.1 LIS (State)” the amount of 1,250 euros, which results from subtracting from box [01586] of the self-assessment that we want to present incorporating the adjustment of 5,000 euros less box [01586] of the self-assessment calculated separately without incorporating the adjustment of 5,000 euros, that is, 1,250 euros (16,250 – 15,000).

Finally, in accordance with the above, Company "A" must complete the section "Option of fractionation in cases of change of residence (art. 19.1 LIS)" on page 14 bis of form 200 with the following amounts:

Amount included in the tax base (State) (box [01588]): 5,000 euros

Tax debt resulting from the fractionation of art. 19.1 LIS (State) (box [02481]): 1,250 euros (16,250 – 15,000)

1 Subdivision (State) (box [02483]): 250 euros (1,250 / 5)

Result of the self-assessment including the 1st installment of art. 19.1 LIS (State) (box [02485]): 15,250 euros (16,250 – 1,250 + 250)

Liquid to be entered including the 1st installment of art. 19.1 LIS (State) (box [02489]): 15,250 euros
