8.2.5.2. Collective investment institutions established in tax havens

INCOME IMUTATION

Taxpayers who participate in collective investment institutions established in countries or territories legally classified as tax havens, will allocate to the general income of the tax period the positive difference between the net asset value of the participation on the closing day of the tax period and its acquisition value. .

It will be presumed, unless proven otherwise, that this difference is 15 percent of the acquisition value of the share or participation.

The amount charged will be considered greater value acquisition.

The profits distributed by the collective investment institution will not be imputed and will reduce the acquisition value of the participation.

SHARES OR PARTICIPATIONS ACQUIRED BEFORE 1-1-99 (DT 8 Law)

For the purposes of calculating the excess net asset value, the net asset value as of January 1, 1999 will be taken as the acquisition value, with respect to the units and shares held by the taxpayer.

The difference between said value and the effective acquisition value will not be taken as the acquisition value for the purposes of determining the income derived from the transfer or redemption of the shares or participations.

DISTRIBUTED PROFITS OBTAINED BEFORE 1-1-99 (DT 8 Law)

Dividends and shares in profits distributed by collective investment institutions, which come from profits obtained prior to January 1, 1999, will be integrated into the tax base of the partners or participants thereof.

For these purposes, it will be understood that the first distributed reserves have been provided with the first profits earned.
