Tax system Dividends and Attendance Bonus Dividends, Attendance Bonus and participations in profits will be considered as returns from the securities portfolio and will be included, in general terms, in the personal Income Tax savings base, with a tax payment at the rate of 19% and 21% depending on the amount concerned. Where dividends distributed by resident companies are concerned, the deduction for double taxation is eliminated and an exemption is foreseed for these dividends and participations in profits with a limit of 1,500 euros per year. This exemption will not be applicable in the case of dividends and participations in profits distributed by collective investment institutions, Nor to those arising from securities listed on any one of the official secondary stock markets defined in Directive 2004/39/CE, of the European Parliament and Council, of 21 April 2004, relating to the financial instruments markets, acquired within the two months prior to the date that they would have been settled when, after this date but within the same period, there is a transmission of homogeneous securities. A 19% retention at source on the gross dividend, to be deducted from the personal income tax quota. Interest In general terms, interest will be included in the savings tax base, with a tax payment at the rate of 19% and 21% depending on the amount concerned. 7

5 8 Saving exceptions, a 19% retention at source on the total amount received, to be deducted from the personal income tax quota. Capital gains and losses Capital gains and losses derived from the transmission of shares and holdings will be included in the personal Income Tax savings base, without regard to the period in which they were generated, with a tax payment at the fixed rate of 19% and 21% depending on the amount concerned. Likewise, capital gains arising from the transfer or reimbursement of equity or holdings in investment funds are taxable at 19% and 21% depending on the amount concerned. Negative balances derived from the transmission of shares and holdings will be compensated exclusively against the positive balances of these transmissions. In the event that the balance continues to be negative, it may be compensated against positive balances derived from the transmission of shares and holdings generated over the following four years. Capital gains or losses arising from the transfer or reimbursement of shares and holdings in investment funds, in certain cases will not be included in personal income tax if the amount obtained is reinvested in the purchase of other shares or holdings in investment funds. The new shares or Holdings acquired will retain the same value and purchase date as the shares and participations transmitted or refunded. This system of deferral does not apply when, by whatever means, the amount derived from the refund or transmission of shares of collective investment institutions is put at the taxpayer s disposal. Nor does the previously mentioned system of deferral apply when the transmission or purchase has as its object, representative participations in the assets of collective investment institutions treated as Exchange Trade Funds. Capital gains arising from the transfer or reimbursement of equity or holdings in investment funds will be subject, in general, to a 19% retention at source, with the exception of those derived from the refund or transmission of participations in Exchange Traded Funds. In some cases the party having to make this payment on account of 19% of gains will be the shareholder or participant carrying out the transfer or the reimbursement. International double taxation. Taxation is established by the existence of a Double Taxation Treaty between Spain and the investor s country of residence, and also upon the various possible exemptions that feature in the internal regulations. The investor must always demonstrate their condition as resident. Nevertheless, it is important to point out that the Law of Income Tax for Non-Residents classifies as tax free income that resulting from the transfer of equities or the reimbursement of holdings in investment funds carried out in one of the official Spanish secondary markets obtained by non-residents or foreign companies not permanently established in Spanish territory, by residents of a country that has signed an agreement with Spain to avoid double taxation and with a clause on information exchange. In the majority of treaties signed by Spain, the final taxation in the country of origin is of 15% in the payment of dividends and of 10% to 15% in the payment of interest. Independently of the above, Spanish law establishes a tax exemption, with a limit of 1,500 euros, for dividends and participations in profits obtained by companies not permanently established in Spanish territory or by residents in other European Union member states or countries or territories where there is information exchange. Under no circumstances will the mentioned exemptions be applied when the yields are obtained through tax havens. Value-added tax and capital transfer tax exemptions Transfers of securities - independently of whether such securities are listed in an official secondary market - are exempt from Capital Transfer and Transactions Evidenced by Legal Documentation Tax as well as from Value-Added Tax, save specific exceptions foreseen legally which entail real-estate transfers. Wealth Tax Through Royal Decree-Law 13/2011, of 16 September, Wealth Tax has been returned to the Spanish tax system for the limited period of the financial years 2011 and The restoral of Wealth Tax implies the obligation to declare at the end of the financial year all assets and rights held by the taxpayer and subject to taxation under such Tax.
