720

Postby Canela » Sun Jan 23, 2022 7:13 pm

Good evening, Last year I sold all my overseas assets and don’t intend on having any more.
I have declared on 720 in the past - the last time in 2019. Should I declare the sale? I will be declaring any profits in the next Renta.
Thanks for advice

Property i presume? Is there anywhere on the form (mines at the back of my cupboard!) where you put in the sold price etc) if not then i guess they will know when you declare for CGT

Cid and beech will know and help you out I'm sure

Just been reported that the fines given to some over the 720 have been declared illegal due to how excessive they were. This has been going through the courts for years. Those people will be able to reclaim them. The need to declare still stands

The First Chamber of the Court of Justice of the European Union (EUCJ) has issued a judgment declaring illegal Spanish tax Form 720, for restricting free movement of capital by imposing on Spanish residents an obligation to declare assets abroad that does not have its equivalent with respect to assets or rights located in Spain. The purpose of guaranteeing the effectiveness of tax controls to combat tax fraud and evasion has not been considered sufficient motivation to justify this difference in treatment.

As I understand it, the obligation to declare remains, it is not the 720 which has been declared illegal, just some of the sanctions for non compliance that have been considered overly punitive. Nothing really new there, this has been anticipated for some time.

Am I understanding the article correctly that if you were fined for a late submission of the 720 that you no longer have to pay the fine? We are appealing against the extortionate amount they are trying to charge us from 2013 and are waiting to hear. Thanks for any help.

I would think you will still have to pay A fine but not the extortionate amount they have been charging people . I guess its probably abit early to see how it will work for those who havnt actually paid yet. Will the fine be scrapped and you start from scratch?

Late payment fines were very high but not so bad. It was non declaration that was so expensive that it could be as much as 150% of the entire asset value. That was crazy!

Our original fine in 2013 was 3,000 euros EACH for filing the forms a few months late (well we filed them as soon as we found out about them) hence our appeal. This was reduced in December 2021 to 2,250 total as they said that the criteria for the fine had been changed. However in light of the new Ruling on 28 January 2022 we are keeping our fingers crossed this will be either reduced again or cancelled. Will update as soon as we hear.

The new ruling certainly looks good for you. Fingers crossed it gets reduced
