Any increase above 20,000 euro in the value of assets or rights previously reported should also be informed as well as any asset disposal.<\/p>\n<p>&#x2714; Failure to declare or a partial \/ out of term declaration have caused, up to now, the following consequences that are criticised by the EU SCJ:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>i. Taxation as non-declared income of an amount equivalent to such assets\u2019 value as non-justified capital gains, without the possibility of benefiting from the statute of limitations period.<\/li>\n<li>ii. A penalty of 150% of the tax calculated on the assets\u2019 value. And,<\/li>\n<li>iii. Lump sum penalties with no reduction, that were disproportionate with respect to penalties imposed on similar infractions in a purely national context<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&#x2714; These disproportionate penalties constitute an interference with the principle of free movement of capitals. Besides, the impossibility of alleging the statute of limitations is against the principle of legal security.<\/p>\n<p>&#x2714; Considering this new scenario, the Spanish Government is currently studying the Court Sentence and has expressed its intention of modifying the regulations in force before the end of the term for filing Form 720 of fiscal year 2021, on March 31st of this year. <\/p>\n<p>&#x2714; The conclusion that we can reach now is that the obligation to file Form 720 remains as it has been in past years. However, we will have to wait and see in which particular wording are the new regulations passed before the online filing of the tax Form. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Jan. 27 of this year, the European Union Superior Court of Justice (EU SCJ) has dictated a Sentence referred to the complaint against Spanish Form 720 before the European Commission and in which Spain is condemned, on the basis that Spanish regulations that oblige Spanish tax residents declaring their overseas assets and \/ or [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":21039,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[997,1348],"tags":[1372,1483],"class_list":["post-21042","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-expertos-en","category-taxation","tag-fiscalidad-en","tag-othertaxes2022"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Spanish Form 720, what\u2019s next?
