Abusive double controlled-realization reorganization only if aimed at avoiding extension of holding period
July 25, 2024
In its answer to interpellation No. 160 of July 24, theInternal Revenue Service examined a case of corporate reorganization characterized by two consecutive controlled-realization contribution transactions, the first under Article 177 paragraph 2 while the second under the same Article paragraph 2-bis of the TUIR.
Important is the passage where the Entity recalls (reasonably) that the transaction, in principle, does not automatically lead to an undue tax advantage and, consequently, cannot be included in the scope of the cases of abuse of law ex art. 10-bis L. 212/2000, however, recalls and highlights that, pursuant to the aforementioned paragraph 2-bis, the holding period required by the PEX regime ex art. 87, undergoes a considerable extension to such an extent that if, as a result of the reorganization, this period is in fact avoided, the transaction would lose its lawfulness in principle.
Subject, as usual, to all the valid extrafiscal reasons necessary for a nonabusive corporate reorganization, as in the case examined by the interpellation.
