Steps
Tax II
At this stage, the group continues to meet with the objective of trying to define a strategy that helps reduce conflict in tax matters, with a very broad approach, starting from the regulatory aspects until reaching the applications and ending with the review mechanisms. Amplitude that must also be transferred to the subjective scope of the study, which must be extended to taxpayers, tax administration and tax intermediaries.
This group is working on drawing up some conclusions that will soon be published in Fide.
- Certainty in the interpretation of tax regulations
- Improved incentives for voluntary regularization
- The application of taxes: conflict resolution during the procedure
- The application of taxes: the Tax Administration
- The application of taxes: the role of fiscal intermediaries
- The administrative review of tax acts
- The contentious-administrative review
- Collection procedure
- The generation of conflicts in the execution phase
- Conflicts of the sanctioning regime
- Conflict in regional and local taxes: particularities and state of the matter
Tax I
The analysis of this Working Group focused on the competence of the State, without prejudice to the fact that the conclusions can be applied, with nuances, at the regional and local levels. During 2016 and until the presentation of the conclusions document on April 3, 2017, the group held periodic meetings aimed at analyzing the improvement of tax regulations.
Advancing in the purification of the normative technique in the tax field is the objective of this work and in that sense, in it a series of recommendations are made, of a very diverse nature with a vocation that, clearly pragmatic and oriented to its application in the In the short term, it seeks to achieve a permanence effect over time, integrating itself into the spinal cord of the system, beyond the substantive nature of the norm at the service of which they are.
- Participation of citizens and other operators in the regulatory process.
- Participation in the parliamentary phase and monitoring of its processing.
- Assess the convenience of creating an advisory body made up of Lawyers from the Cortes Generales to study each legal project and make suggestions from the perspective of legislative technique.
- Assess the creation of a pre-legislative body that would act as a technical center at the service of advising and drafting regulations.
- Advance in the regulation of the so-called interest groups and their participation in regulatory projects.
- Have more precise regulatory technical rules that are binding for the Administration.
- Positivization in standard of interpretative criteria that, because they are repeated and do not generate conflict, should evolve from that category to that of standard in the strict sense, gaining in legal certainty.
- Establish ex ante control mechanisms, and institutionalize ex post controls with public results that give rise to a report of recommendations and carry out a continuous monitoring activity during the application of the norm.
- Adding a test system that allows the identification of all the factors that may have a positive or negative impact on the quality of tax regulations and their degree of acceptance and effectiveness.
