2023 Laws of Puerto Rico › TITLE THIRTEEN - Taxation and Finance (§§ 1 — 33423) › Subtitle 17 - Internal Revenue Code of 2011 (§§ 30001 — 33423) › PART II - Income Taxes (§§ 30041 — 30622) › Chapter 1009 - Partnerships and Partners (§§ 30321 — 30378) › Subchapter C - Computations in Distributions (§§ 30351 — 30357) › § 30357 - Recognition of pre-contribution gain in case of certain distributions to contributing partner

(a) General rule. — In the case of any distribution by a partnership to a partner, such partner shall be treated as recognizing gain in an amount equal to the lesser of:
(1) The excess (if any) of:
(A) The fair market value of the property (other than money) received in the distribution, over
(B) the adjusted basis of such partner’s interest in the partnership immediately before the distribution, reduced (but not below zero) by the amount of money received in the distribution, or
(2) the net pre-contribution gain of the partner.
Gain recognized under the provisions of this subsection shall be in addition to any gain recognized under § 30351 of this title. The character of such gain shall be determined by reference to the proportionate character of the net pre-contribution gain.
(b) Net pre-contribution gain. — For purposes of this section, the term “net pre-contribution gain” means the net gain (if any) which would have been recognized by the distributee partner under § 30324(c)(1)(B) of this title if all the property which:
(1) Had been contributed to the partnership by the distributee partner during the seven (7)-year period prior to the distribution, and
(2) is held by such partnership immediately before the distribution, had been distributed by such partnership to another partner.
(c) Basis rules. —
(1) Partner’s interest. — The adjusted basis of a partner’s interest in a partnership shall be increased by the amount of any gain recognized by such partner under subsection (a). For purposes of determining the basis of the distributed property (other than money), such increase shall be treated as occurring immediately before the distribution.
(2) Partnership’s basis in contributed property. — Appropriate adjustments shall be made to the adjusted basis of the partnership in the contributed property referred to in subsection (b) to reflect gain recognized under subsection (a).
(d) Exceptions. —
(1) Distributions of previously contributed property. — If any portion of the distributed property consists of property which had been contributed by the distributee partner to the partnership, such property shall not be taken into account under subsection (a)(1) and shall not be taken into account in determining the amount of the net pre-contribution gain. If the distributed property consists of an interest in an entity, the preceding sentence shall not apply to the extent that the value of such interest is attributable to property contributed to such entity after such interest had been contributed to the partnership.
(2) Coordination with § 30371 of this title. — This section shall not apply to the extent § 30371(b) of this title applies to such distribution.
(e) Marketable securities treated as money. — For treatment of marketable securities as money, for purposes of this section, see § 30351(c) of this title.
