The first step permitaa the new company a tax deduction of the expenditure on new fixed assets, such as buying a building, where they exceed 15,025,303 euros, so that, eve isk, only paid taxes for 45% of the total investment. This benefit applies between 1995 and 1999 lava and between 1997 and 1999 in Vizcaya and Guipzcoa.
The second measure authorizing a gradual REDUCTION taxable corporate income tax of 99%, 75%, 50% and 25% in four consecutive tax periods from first to obtain benefits within the first four activity .
This REDUCTION (applied between 1996 and 2000 in the three Basque provinces) was subject to certain conditions and that the company had carried out a inversinmnima of 480,810 euros, had a paid-up capital of 120,202 euros and create at least ten jobs.
The third measure at issue, the prosecutor for ten years exencin corporate tax to companies created between 1993 and 1994 also adopted by the Basque deputations to address the economic crisis of 90, was already addressed in a preview in March.
The State Attorney General then intervened for the first time independently of the process to the "gravity" of the situation and the "indnsin" of the Basque provinces, and stressed that the same tax rate adopted regmenes in Navarre and other parts of Spanish territory without justifying actions of the Commission.
The government of La Rioja also participated at the hearing, but to support the arguments in Brussels.
The first suspicions about the possible illegality of the Basque measures came into the hands of the EU executive in 1994, but were not declared illegal until 2001, when the EC called on Spain to withdraw them and recover the aid.
The Commission announced last November to ask the Court to Spain a huge fine for failure to recover all the illegal aid nine years after his decision. The Brussels peticin has not yet come to Luxembourg.
