What applies, and when
- On any disposal
- Gains on the transfer of assets are taxed in the savings tax base rather than at general income rates, on the scale set by article 66 of Law 35/2006 together with the matching autonomous-community scale in article 76 of the same law.
- Caveat
- How long the asset was held does not change the treatment. The scales in articles 66 and 76 are applied in parallel and are identical, so the combined charge runs from 19 per cent on the first 6,000 euros to 30 per cent on the part above 300,000 euros.
