Form D6 (Modelo D6)
Declaration of Holders of Spanish Investments Abroad in Negotiable Securities
Form D6 is an annual informative declaration of Spanish investments abroad in companies that trade on a stock exchange or organized market. In other words, when the values are deposited in an entity located abroad or remain under the custody of the holder of the investment. It came into force by the end of 2021.
This form is for information purposes only, mainly to allow the Ministry of Industry, Commerce and Tourism to have a record of all investments of Spanish residents deposited or held abroad. It is not subject to payment of any additional tax. Form D6 does not replace the Tax Agency’s Form 720, it is complementary to it.
Notice: Form D6 has been repealed
The Spanish government decided in December 2021 to eliminate the obligation to present Form D6 for most investors. This legislative change was introduced in the Order ICT/1408/2021, dated December 14th.
From that moment on, only investors who hold a participation equal to or greater than 10% of the capital or voting rights of the company in which the investment is held, will be required to submit the D6 form.
