On 4th June the Spanish Government definitively passed Order HAP 1182\/2012 of 31st May implementing the introduction of a special tax declaration for property or rights, the ownership of which corresponds to previously undeclared income for the purposes of Personal Income Tax, Corporate Tax or Non-resident Tax, provided that ownership had been acquired before the finalisation of the last tax period whose corresponding declaration period ended on 31st March 2012. That is to say, in the case of individuals, before 31st December 2010.<\/p>\n

2)\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Paying in of 10% of the amounts declared in the amnesty into a bank. The amount payable is the result of applying 10% to the acquisition value of the regularised property or rights, likewise the provision of the information required for properly identifying said property or rights.<\/p>\n

III.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0CONCLUSION<\/p>\n
This tax amnesty passed by the Government with the intention of obtaining an extraordinary tax collection is in line with similar measures taken by neighbouring countries, for example Italy in 2010, even though during the first months of entering into force, the amnesty is not showing itself to be a main option for tax evaders. Given the complicated situation which Spain is going through, it seems that tax evaders seem to prefer to keep their funds abroad rather than choosing the application of the amnesty. The result of the measure shall become known at the end of this year, when it will be possible to evaluate the amount collected.<\/p>\n
