6.12 APPENDICES

APPENDIX I. DISCLOSURES ON THE TAX REGIME ESTABLISHED IN ARTICLES 107 AND 108 OF LAW 27/2014.

In 2014 Ferrovial opted to be taxed under the regime established currently in Articles 107 and 108 of the Spanish Income Tax Law, of 27 November, (“LIS”), which became applicable from 1 January 2014 and, consequently, all of 2016.

Under this tax regime:

  1. Dividends and capital gains obtained by Ferrovial arising from ownership interests in non-resident operating companies (which represent at least 5% of the share capital of these companies or which were acquired for more than EUR 20 million) are exempt from income tax if the requirements provided for in Article 21 of the Spanish Income Tax Law (“exempt income”) are fulfilled.
  2. The dividends paid by Ferrovial with a charge to the aforementioned “exempt income”, or to income arising from permanent establishments abroad to which the exemption provided for in Article 22 of the Spanish Income Tax Law is applicable are treated as follows:

    (iv) Where the recipient is a non-resident shareholder in Spain (and does not operate through tax havens or by means of a permanent establishment in Spain), dividends are not subject to withholdings or taxation in Spain.

    (v) Where the recipient is an entity subject to Spanish income tax, the dividends received shall give rise to the exemption in order to avoid double taxation of dividends of resident entities included in Article 21 of the Spanish Income Tax Law (“exempt income”), if the requirements provided for in the aforementioned law are met.

    (vi) Where the recipient is a natural person resident in Spain subject to personal income tax, the dividends received shall be considered savings income and the tax credit for the avoidance of double taxation in Spain may be taken in accordance with the terms of the Personal Income Tax Law, with respect to the taxes paid abroad by Ferrovial.

    In 2016 all of the dividends paid by Ferrovial were paid out of "exempt income".

  3. The capital gains obtained by the shareholders of Ferrovial arising from the transfer of their ownership interests in the Company are treated as follows:

    (i) Where the shareholder is a non-resident in Spain (and does not operate through tax havens or a permanent establishment in Spain) the portion of the capital gain that relates to the reserves recognised by Ferrovial with a charge to the aforementioned “exempt income” or to changes in value attributable to Ferrovial’s investments in non-resident entities that meet the requirements to be able to apply the foreign income exemption established in Articles 21 and 22 of the Spanish Income Tax Law shall be deemed not subject to taxation in Spain.

    (ii) Where the shareholder is an entity subject to Spanish income tax with an ownership interest in Ferrovial that meets the requirement (5% ownership interest in the share capital or that the acquisition cost of the ownership interest exceeds EUR 20 million and it has been held for one year), the exemption provided for in Article 21 of the Spanish Income Tax Law may be applied.

    (iii) Where the shareholder is a natural person resident in Spain subject to personal income tax, it shall pay tax on the capital gain obtained in accordance with the standard income tax rules.

The amount of exempt income pursuant to Article 21 and 22 of the Spanish Income Tax Law obtained by Ferrovial in 2016 and the related tax paid abroad is as follows:

a.2 Exemption for income of permanent establishments abroad

No income was obtained from permanent establishments abroad in 2016.

B) EXEMPTION FOR FOREIGN SOURCE CAPITAL GAINS:

No capital gains were obtained to which the exemption included in Article 21 of the Spanish Income Tax Law is applicable because (i) either the sales were made between Group companies and were eliminated on preparation of the consolidated tax return, (ii) or they were reported in corporate restructuring transactions which opted for the tax neutrality regime provided for in Article 76 et seq of the Spanish Income Tax Law.

Nevertheless, the capital gains that would have been reported for tax purposes had these regimes not been not applicable (consolidated tax group or tax neutrality) are as follows:

In order to enable the shareholders of Ferrovial to adopt the aforementioned tax regime, the Company performed a market assessment at the end of the year of its ownership interests (held directly and indirectly through investments in other entities that have adopted this special tax regime) in non-resident entities and permanent establishments abroad that meet the requirements to be able to apply the foreign source income exemption established in Articles 21 and 22 of the Spanish Income Tax Law.

The result of this assessment means that these assets represent 92% of the total market value of Ferrovial. At 31 December 2015, this percentage amounted to 89%.

Taxation of Ferrovial’s scrip dividend

In 2016 Ferrovial S.A. implemented two shareholder remuneration schemes under a framework known as the “Ferrovial Scrip Dividend”, which provide the Company’s shareholders with the free choice of (i) receiving newly issued bonus shares of the Company; (ii) transferring in the market the bonus issue rights corresponding to the shares held by them; or (iii) receiving a cash amount through the transfer to Ferrovial of the aforementioned bonus issue rights.

Set forth below are the main tax implications of these schemes, based on the tax legislation in force in Spain except for Navarre and the Basque Country and on the interpretation made by the Spanish Directorate-General of Taxes in its response to several requests for a binding rulings.

Delivery of new shares: for tax purposes, the delivery of new shares is considered to be a delivery of bonus shares and, therefore, does not constitute income for the purposes of personal income tax, income tax or non-resident income tax, regardless of whether or not the recipients of these shares act through a permanent establishment in Spain. The delivery of new shares is not subject to withholdings or pre-payments. The acquisition cost, both of the new shares and the shares to which they correspond, will be the result of distributing the total cost of acquisition for tax purposes of the portfolio by the number of shares; both the original shares and the bonus shares that correspond to them. The age of the bonus shares will be the age that corresponds to the shares that gave rise to them. Consequently, in the event of their subsequent transfer, the income obtained will be calculated by reference to this new value.

Sale to the market of the bonus issue rights: if the shareholders sell their bonus issue rights to the market, the amount obtained will not be subject to withholdings or pre-payments and will be subject to the tax rules indicated below (applicable until the end of 2016(*)):

  1. In the case of personal income tax and non-resident income tax applicable to shareholders without a permanent establishment in Spain, the amount obtained on the sale to the market of the bonus issue rights is subject to the same rules established in tax legislation for pre-emption rights. Consequently, the amount obtained on the sale of the bonus issue rights reduces the acquisition cost for tax purposes of the shares which give rise to such rights, pursuant to Article 37.1.a) of Personal Income Tax Law 35/2006, of 28 November, and pursuant to Final Provision Six of Law 26/2014, of 27 November, amending Personal Income Tax Law 35/2006, of 28 November, the Consolidated Spanish Non-Resident Income Tax Law approved by Legislative Royal Decree 5/2004, of 5 March, and other tax legislation. Therefore, if the amount obtained on the sale of the bonus issue rights is higher than the acquisition cost of the shares which gave rise to them, the difference is considered to be a capital gain for the seller in the tax period in which this occurs; all of the foregoing without prejudice to the potential application to non-resident income tax payers not operating through a permanent establishment in Spain of the tax treaties entered into by Spain to which they could be entitled or to the exemptions that may be applicable to them under Spanish domestic law.
  2. In the case of income tax and non-resident income tax applicable to shareholders operating through a permanent establishment in Spain, taxes will be paid in accordance with applicable accounting standards and, as appropriate, with the special tax rules applicable to the shareholders subject to the aforementioned taxes.

Sale to Ferrovial of the bonus issue rights: lastly, if the holders of bonus issue rights decide to avail themselves of the Ferrovial Purchase Commitment, the tax regime applicable to the amount obtained on the sale to Ferrovial of the bonus issue rights received in their capacity as shareholders will be as follows:

(iv) if the shareholder is a natural person resident for tax purposes in Spain or a legal entity that does not satisfy the requirements to apply the exemption provided for in Article 21 of Spanish Income Tax Law 27/2014, the applicable tax regime shall be the regime which applies to the dividends paid directly in cash and, therefore, the amount obtained will be subject to the corresponding withholding tax;

(v) if the shareholder is a natural person or legal entity not resident for tax purposes in Spain or a tax haven, and does not operate through a permanent establishment in Spain, the amount obtained shall not be subject to taxation in Spain pursuant to Chapter XIII of Title VII of Spanish Income Tax Law 27/2014, and, therefore, shall not be subject to withholding tax. In these cases, for this regime to apply the shareholder shall be required to evidence its tax residence by providing the corresponding certificate issued by the tax authorities in question;

(vi) if the shareholder is a legal entity resident in Spain for tax purposes or, if it is not a tax resident but operates through a permanent establishment in Spain and satisfies the requirements for the application of the exemption provided for in Article 21 of Spanish Income Tax Law 27/2014, the amount obtained shall be exempt from taxation in Spain and, therefore, shall not be subject to withholding tax.

It should be borne in mind that the taxation scenarios of the various options relating to the scheme known as the “Ferrovial Scrip Dividend” set out above do not explain all the possible tax consequences. Accordingly, the shareholders should consult their tax advisers on the specific tax effect of the proposed scheme and pay attention to any changes that could take place, both in in-force legislation and in the criteria of the interpretation thereof, as well as the particular circumstances of each shareholder or holder of bonus issue rights.
