The Regulation of Law 35/2003 of 4 November of collective investment institutions, approved by Royal Decree 1309/2005 of 4 November 2005, states in its article 20, as a novelty, the possibility, provided that they are complied with. certain requirements, of which shares and units of Spanish collective investment institutions are marketed in other countries through the legally qualified entities in these countries to carry out the marketing activity. The third final provision of Royal Decree 1309/2005 of 4 November 2005 has added to the Non-Resident Income Tax Regulation, approved by Royal Decree 1776/2004 of 30 July 2004, a single additional provision which is application where, in accordance with Article 20 of the Regulation 35/2003, the management companies or, where appropriate, the investment companies, regulated in that Act, register in global accounts in the name of intermediary entities (a) resident abroad the cross-border marketing by such entities of shares or units of collective investment institutions that are managed by those institutions or, in the case of investment companies, of their own shares. The so-called global account system basically consists in the fact that in the register of shareholders or unit-holders of the Spanish collective investment institution, shareholders or members who are channelled through the trading entity must appear on behalf of the customer, on behalf of his clients. Likewise, in accordance with the said single additional provision, shares or shares acquired on behalf of persons or entities having their tax residence in Spain or permanent establishments of non-permanent establishments may not be included in the aggregate account. residents located on Spanish territory. Therefore, the income obtained by the clients of the marketing companies on the occasion of the perception of profits distributed by the collective investment institution resident in Spain, or of refunds or transfers of shares or shares of that, they are considered to be income obtained in Spanish territory under the terms of Article 13 (1) (1) of the recast of the Law on Income Tax on Non-Resident Income, approved by the Royal Decree Legislative 5/2004, of 5 March, and subject to withholding or entry into account. Notwithstanding the foregoing, these rents may be exempt under Spanish domestic law (in the case of capital gains) and, in the case of taxpayers resident in States with which Spain has signed Conventions for to avoid double taxation, by virtue of the same, to these income, or they could be subject to lower tax rates than the rate laid down in the Spanish domestic law (in the case of distribution of profits); or may be subject to taxation exclusively in the State of residence of the transferor (in the case of property gains). In accordance with the general rules currently in force, to carry out the retentions applying those limited rates, as well as in the cases where there is no need to practice withholding or entry into account as a result of exemptions (a) a certificate of residence for each of the taxpayers issued by the relevant tax authority is required under the internal or agreed rules. The single additional provision of the Non-Resident Income Tax Regulation, in paragraph 2, provides that the accreditation of the identity and the residence of the clients of the trader will be carried out according to the procedure that the Minister for Economic Affairs and Finance, by referring to the certifications and relations provided for in paragraph 3 of that single additional provision. Paragraph 3 sets out different obligations for the trading entities abroad, with the Minister for Economic Affairs and Finance being entrusted with the specific development of these obligations. In particular, these institutions shall send to the Spanish tax authorities an individualised relationship between the members or shareholders that are perceptive or transmittable and an individual annual relationship of the investment position of all their shareholders. clients. They shall also inform the managing body or the investment company of the fulfilment of those obligations and send them, on the occasion of the receipt of benefits, or refunds or transmissions, certificates on the residence of their clients. In application of the above, and in order to facilitate the mechanism of the practice of retentions, this Order establishes a special procedure of accreditation of the residence to the exclusive effects of the practice of withholding. This special procedure is established for two purposes. First, in order to justify the practice of withholding or income on account, where a limit of taxation laid down in a Convention is applied in order to avoid double taxation, or where withholding tax is not practised by application of the internal rules or It shall apply only in the case of taxpayers who are resident in the same country as the market in which Spain has signed a Convention to avoid double taxation with a provision for the exchange of information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in any event, the general system of justification for the practice of withholding taxes or income may be applied, with certain particularities, when a limit of taxation laid down in a Convention is applied for to avoid double taxation of less than the rate of internal taxation, or where withholding tax is not applied for the purposes of withholding tax. Secondly, even if there is no application of a limited rate lower than the internal rate or an exemption from the practice of withholding tax, through this procedure, the trading entity has the obligation to retain that the income obtained for all its clients tax in the area of Income Tax of non-residents, income obtained without mediation of permanent establishment. The procedure is based on a certificate of tax residence of a global character, without the identification of the taxpayers, issued by the foreign marketing entity, which must be sent to the managing body or investment company with the opportunity to receive benefits or refunds or transfers of shares or shares of collective investment institutions and which shall serve as a document proving the tax residence for the purposes set out in the paragraphs previous. In addition, in this Order the reporting obligations imposed on the trading entities abroad and the procedure for the fulfilment of such obligations are regulated. The marketer shall forward to the Spanish tax administration, in the first three months of the following year to which the information relates, an individualised annual ratio of recipients and transferors, and from investment positions to December 31 of all its clients. The foreign market shall also inform the managing body or the investment company that has made such a referral. It is therefore appropriate to incorporate the special procedure for the accreditation of residence in the provisions of the legislation specifying the supporting documents for the purposes of withholding tax. To this end, the 13th paragraph of the Order of 9 December 1999 approving, in pesetas and in euro, the model 216 declaration-document of income from withholding and income to account in respect of the certain income under the Income Tax of non-residents obtained by taxpayers of that tax without permanent establishment and the annual summary, model 296, of withholding and income to account effected in relation to those income, as well as certain provisions relating to the accounts of non-residents, and the fifth paragraph of the Order of 15 December 1999 approving models 187, in pesetas and in euro, of an information declaration of shares and units representing the capital or assets of the institutions for collective investment and of the summary the annual withholding tax and income on account of the Income Tax of the Physical Persons, the Tax on Societies and the Income Tax of Non-Residents, in relation to the income or property gains obtained as a result of the transmissions or repayments of those shares or units, as well as the physical designs and For the compulsory presentation of the abovementioned models 187 for direct computer-readable support, the Order of 22 February 1999, for which the models 117, in pesetas and in euro, are approved, is amended. The Order, in coherence with the global account system, in which foreign traders are, and not the taxpayers, who appear as recipients of the distributed profits or as transmitts, provides that in the model declarations 187 and 296, the tax obliged to its presentation group the information, for each perception of benefits or frequency with which the collective investment institution stores the refund or transmission, in the name of the foreign market. Also as a consequence of the system of global account, the Order provides that in the declarations model 187, the tax obliged to its presentation in the cases of subscriptions or acquisitions of participations or shares of investment institutions Spanish collective channels through foreign marketing companies, as a partner or participate in the trading entity. In summary, under the provisions of the single additional provision of the Non-Resident Income Tax Regulation, in this Order, in Articles 1 and 2, the special procedure for the accreditation of residence is established. of certain shareholders or non-residents, for the purposes of the practice of withholding tax, in the case of contracts for the cross-border marketing of shares or units of Spanish collective investment institutions by means of global accounts subscribed to intermediary entities resident abroad; in the Article 3, the obligations for the provision of information of foreign residents residing abroad to the Spanish tax authorities and, in Article 4, the procedure for the presentation of the relations which they are obliged to forward to the tax authorities those entities.
