EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

1
Fundamentals of Value Added Tax Modification

The creation of the internal market at Community level implies the abolition of fiscal frontiers and requires new and specific regulation, for the purposes of the value added tax, of intra-Community transactions, as well as a minimum harmonisation of tax rates and appropriate administrative cooperation between Member States.

In this respect, the Council of the European Communities has adopted Directive 91 /680/EEC of 16 December on the legal system for intra-Community traffic, Directive 92/77/EEC of 19 October on the harmonisation of tax rates and has dictated Regulation 92/218/EEC of 27 January 1992 on the cooperation to be provided by the tax administrations, thereby creating a regulatory framework to be incorporated into our legislation by the Treaty of Accession to the European Communities.

On the other hand, the experience gained during the seven years of VAT has shown the need for certain amendments to be made to its legislation in order to solve some technical problems or simplify your application.

All this determines a profound modification of the regulations of the Value Added Tax which justifies the approval of a new Law regulating the tax, to incorporate the aforementioned Community provisions and the modifications to the improvement of the rules.

The creation of the Internal Market

Article 13 of the Single Act has introduced Article 8a of the EEC Treaty to the effect that ' the Community shall adopt measures to progressively establish the internal market, in the course of a period ending on 31 December 1992 ".

creation of the Internal Market, which will start its operation on 1 January 1993, will include, inter alia, the abolition of fiscal frontiers and the abolition of border controls, which would require regular intra-Community transactions such as those carried out within each State, applying the principle of taxation at source, that is to say, with the impact of the tax on origin to the purchaser of deduction for the purposes of the contributions, according to the normal tax mechanism.

However, the structural problems of some Member States and the still important differences in the rates of taxation in each Member State, even after harmonisation, have determined that the full operation of the Internal Market, for the purposes of Value Added Tax, only after a previous stage defined by the transitional regime has been exceeded.

In the transitional regime, which will in principle have a duration of four years, the abolition of tax frontiers is recognised, but the principle of taxation is maintained at a general level. At the end of the indicated period, the Council of the Communities shall take the relevant decisions on the application of the definitive arrangements or the continuation of the transitional arrangements.

A) Legal regulation of the transitional regime

The transitional arrangements, as laid down in Directive 91 /680/EEC, are based on four main points:

1. The creation of the taxable amount intra-Community acquisition of goods.

The abolition of fiscal frontiers implies the disappearance of imports between Member States, but the application of the principle of taxation at destination requires the creation of this taxable event, as a technical solution which enables the charge to be imposed in the Member State of arrival of the goods.

This new taxable event is configured to obtain the power of disposal, made by a taxable person or legal person who does not act as such, on a movable body object of a transmission carried out by a a taxable person, provided that such goods are issued or transported from one Member State to another.

2. º The exemptions from intra-Community deliveries of goods.

In the transactions between the Member States it is of great importance to delimit the exemptions from the supply of goods which are sent from one State to another, to the object that, in the economic operation which starts in one of them and the latter in another, there are no situations of non-imposition or, contrary, double taxation.

Intra-Community supplies of goods shall be exempt from tax when they are sent from one Member State to another, to the acquirer, which shall be a taxable person or a legal person who does not act as such. In other words, the delivery at source will benefit from the exemption where it results in an intra-Community acquisition taxed at destination, in accordance with the condition of the acquirer.

Transport is a fundamental service in the configuration of intra-Community transactions: the exemption from delivery at source and the taxation of the acquisition at destination are conditional on the object of such transactions being transport from one Member State to another.

Transport in intra-Community traffic is configured as an autonomous operation of deliveries and acquisitions and, contrary to previous legislation, is not exempt from the tax, but overall it is better for its regime. taxation, because the supported quotas can be deducted and the difficulties arising from the justification of the exemption are avoided.

3. º The particular regimes.

Within the transitional regime, a number of special schemes are established which will serve to promote the replacement of the transitional regime with the definitive regime. They are as follows:

(a) Travellers, which allows persons resident in the Community to acquire directly, in any Member State, personal property which does not constitute a commercial issue, only being taxed where they carry out their purchases;

(b) Special persons (farmers, taxable persons who only carry out exempt transactions and legal persons who do not act as taxable persons), whose purchases are taxed at source when their total volume per year natural does not exceed certain limits (for Spain, 10,000 ECU);

c) The distance selling, which will allow the aforementioned persons in special regime and the natural persons who do not have the status of entrepreneurs or professionals, to acquire indirectly, without physical displacement, but through of catalogues, advertisements, etc., any kind of goods, with taxation at source, if the turnover of the employer does not exceed, per calendar year of certain limits (in Spain, 35,000 ECU), and

(d) The new means of transport, the acquisition of which is always paid at destination, even if it is made by persons under special arrangements or who do not have the status of employers or professionals, and even if the seller at source is not has the status of an employer or a professional. The special significance of these goods on the market justifies that, during the transitional arrangements, the principle of taxation at destination is applied without exception.

4. The formal obligations.

The abolition of border controls requires more intensive administrative cooperation, as well as the establishment of complementary formal obligations to monitor the goods in question.

intra-Community

Thus, it is foreseen in the new regulation that all Community operators must be identified for VAT purposes in the Member States in which they carry out transactions subject to the tax; whereas taxable persons must submit periodic declarations, in which the intra-Community transactions and annual declarations shall be recorded separately with the summary of the deliveries made to the other Member States, in order to enable the administrations to making summary lists of consignments which, during each period, have been (a) to be carried out from each Member State to the other Member States and also provides for the obligation of a specific accounting of certain intra-Community transactions (execution of works, transfers of goods) to facilitate their monitoring.

B) Harmonization of tax rates

Directive 92/77/EEC of 19 October has laid down the rules for such harmonisation which, in essence, is given as follows:

1. A list of categories of goods and services that can be enjoyed by the reduced rate is established, in consideration of their social or cultural character.

It is a list of "maximums", which cannot be overcome by the Member States.

2. Member States shall apply a general rate equal to or greater than 15 per 100 and may apply one or two reduced rates, equal to or greater than 5 per 100, for the goods and services referred to in that list.

3. The rights acquired in favour of the Member States that came in applying the zero rate or lower rates are recognised and certain powers are allowed for those who are obliged to raise more than two. points of its standard type to meet the requirements of harmonisation, as is the case with Spain.

Although these rules do not define a totally strict framework for harmonisation, they represent an important step forward in relation to the current situation.

C) Trade with third countries

The creation of the Internal Market also represents other important changes in Community legislation, which affect, in particular, external trade operations and have determined the corresponding changes in the The Sixth Directive, also contained in Directive 91 /680/EEC.

As a result of the abolition of fiscal frontiers, the taxable fact imports of goods only occurs in respect of goods from third countries, while the receipt of goods from other States Community members make up intra-Community acquisitions.

The taxation of entry of goods to be introduced in exempt areas or under suspension regimes is also modified.

In the previous legislation, those transactions were defined as imports of goods, although they were exempted while the conditions governing the authorisation of those situations or schemes were met. In the new Community tax legislation, these operations do not constitute the subject of the tax and, consequently, they are not provided for. According to the new regulation, the import takes place at the place and time when the goods leave the said areas or leave the indicated regimes.

Likewise, the abolition of tax frontiers requires the setting up of exemptions for exports such as deliveries of goods shipped or transported outside the Community and not when they are sent to another Member State. In the latter case, intra-Community supplies of goods will be produced, which will be exempt from the tax when the circumstances set out above are given.

3
Amendments arising from the creation of the Internal Market

The adaptation of our Value Added Tax legislation to the new Community provisions implies a broad modification of the legislation.

In this regard, it should be noted that Directive 91 /680/EEC amends the Sixth Directive on value added tax, including in one of its titles, the VIIbis, all the rules corresponding to the transient regime.

Contrary, the new VAT law has preferred to use a different methodology, regulating in each of its Titles the matter corresponding to each taxable fact. Thus, the First Title, concerning the delimitation of the taxable event, devotes a chapter to the supply of goods and services, the other to the intra-Community acquisitions of goods and the other to imports; Title II, the the exemptions, each of its chapters enshrines to the configuration of the exemptions relative to each taxable fact and so on.

In this way, a more comprehensible legal text is obtained which, within the complexity of the transitional Community regime, avoids the abstraction of the solution of the directive and provides greater simplification and legal certainty. to the taxpayer.

The incorporation of the amendments introduced by Directive 91 /680/EEC concerns, firstly, the configuration of imports, which are now exclusively related to goods coming from third countries, which determines the total modification of Title II of the previous Law to adapt to the new concept of this taxable event. Only the entries of goods from non-Community origin are included in it and the entries of goods are excluded to be introduced in exempt areas or under suspension regimes.

The conclusions of harmonisation on tax rates also require the amendment of Title III of the preceding Act.

In application of these conclusions, the increased rate is abolished, the current general rates of 15 per 100 and reduced from 6 per 100 are maintained, although the latter are made the necessary adjustments to respect the Table of conclusions of the Ecofin Council on this subject.

Similarly, in the use of the authorizations contained in the intra-Community rules, a reduced rate of 3 per 100 is established for certain basic consumption.

Title IV on deductions and refunds is amended to take account of the rules on intra-Community transactions; Title V, corresponding to special schemes, also has major changes to the adapt to the transitional arrangements and the same applies to the regulatory provisions of the formal obligations and the management of the tax which must be adapted to the new system of obligations and administrative cooperation.

In relation to formal obligations, this Law provides cover for the requirement of obligations arising from the abolition of border controls, the accuracy of which must be made by regulatory means.

Finally, the creation of the new taxable event "intra-Community acquisition of goods" requires a specific regulation of the same, adapted to the new Directive, laying down the rules determining the implementation of the taxable persons, exemptions, place of conduct, accrual, taxable person and taxable amount applicable to such acquisitions.

4
Amendments to improve tax legislation

The application of Value Added Tax over the past seven years has shown the need to also introduce other changes to improve its regulation or to simplify its management, which affects mainly on the following issues:

1. Incorporation of regulatory standards

It is appropriate to incorporate into the Law some regulatory precepts of the previous legislation, to leave at the regulatory level only the forecasts regarding the formal obligations and the corresponding procedures the exercise of the rights recognised to the taxpayer and the development of the management of the tax.

In particular, the rules that contribute to delimiting the taxable fact and the exemptions, which were in the Tax Regulation, should be incorporated into the Act.

2. Territoriality of the tax

The application of the transitional arrangements in intra-Community transactions, with a specific legal regime for the trading of goods between two points in the Community territory of the common system of VAT, requires a definition of accuracy of this territory, indicating the areas or parts of the Community which are excluded from it, even if they are integrated into the Customs Union: these areas shall, for the purposes of VAT, be regarded as third countries.

In our national territory, the Canary Islands, Ceuta and Melilla are excluded from the scope of the harmonised VAT system, although the Canary Islands are integrated into the Customs Union.

3. Global transmissions

The regulation of this benefit in the previous legislation was not sufficiently harmonised with the Sixth Directive, which in these cases provides for the subrogation of the acquirer in the position of the transferor acquired.

Therefore, this regulation should be refined, recognizing the subrogation of the acquirer in terms of the regularization of the investment goods and in respect of the qualification of the first or second delivery of the buildings included in the global or partial transmissions, thus avoiding distortions in the operation of the tax.

4. Activities of the public authorities

The non-subjection of the operations carried out by the public authorities was of a certain complexity and the literal interpretation of the provisions governing it could result in consequences contrary to the principles governing the application of the tax.

It was therefore necessary to clarify this precept and to clarify the scope of the tax benefit to facilitate the uniformity of criteria and to avoid solutions that distort the application of the tax.

In this sense, the new Law establishes clearer criteria, referring not to the activities carried out by the public authorities and not to the concrete operations in which they manifest themselves and defining them as activity. not subject to that whose principal operations (those representing more than 80 per 100 of the revenue) are carried out without consideration or by way of tax consideration.

5. Real estate rights

In relation to the supply of goods, the previous Law is amended to provide that the constitution, transmission or modification of real rights of use or enjoyment of immovable property constitute services, to the the purpose of giving these transactions the same tax treatment that corresponds to the lease of real estate, which has an economic meaning similar to the constitution of the aforementioned real rights.

6. Waiver of exemptions

To avoid the consequences of the breakdown of the chain of deductions produced by the exemptions, the new Law, within the powers granted by the Sixth Directive in this matter, grants to the taxable persons the power to decide on the taxation of certain transactions relating to buildings which are recognised as being exempt from the tax, namely the supply of non-buildable land, the supply of land to the Compensation Boards and the awards made by those Boards and the second and subsequent deliveries of buildings.

However, in the light of the fact that the effect of the deductions is to allow the deduction to be exercised, the waiver of the exemption is only applicable where the recipient of the exempt transactions is a taxable person entitled to the deduction total of the supported quotas.

7. Exemptions in operations assimilated to exports

In this chapter, the exemptions from operations relating to ships and aircraft affected by international shipping are of particular importance.

This Law, without deviating from the postulates of the Community legislation, has simplified the delimitation of these exemptions in order to facilitate their application: the definitive affectation to international navigations is reached in function of the journeys made in the year or year and a half after the delivery, processing, intra-Community acquisition or importation of the vessels or aircraft, the requirement laid down in the previous legislation to continue in the affectation over the following 15 years, with the consequent and complicated regularisations that could originate.

Non-compliance with the requirements that determine the affectation will result in the taxable fact being imported.

8. Rectification of the quotas passed on

In order to facilitate the regularization of the tax in cases of error of fact or of law, of variation of the determining circumstances of its value or when the operations are without effect, the deadline for the to rectify the impact of the contributions, complementing this regulation with the adjustment of deductions, which allows the taxable person to modify these deductions during the period of the year following the receipt of the new invoice.

However, for operational and control reasons, the possibility of rectifying the quotas passed on to recipients who do not act as employers or professionals and, in order to avoid situations of fraud, are excepted also corrections of quotas resulting from inspection measures where the conduct of the taxable person is liable to be punishable by a tax infringement.

9. Deductions

In terms of deductions, it has been necessary to make adjustments for the new taxable event (intra-Community acquisitions), setting it up as an operation that causes the right to deduct.

Changes have also been introduced in relation to the limitations of the right to deduct, in order to collect the criteria of the Court of Justice of the European Communities in this field, which has recently recognised the right to to deduct in favour of taxpayers who partially use the goods and services today excluded in the development of their business activities.

The complexity of the regularization of the deductions from the quotas previously supported at the start of the activity has also led to other changes in its regulation, for simplification purposes.

Thus, in the new regulations, it is only necessary to carry out a single regularization for stocks and investment goods that are not real estate, completing with another regularization for these last goods when, from their effective use, not after ten years; and, in order to avoid option economies, it is required that the period between the request for early returns and the start of the activity is not more than one year, except that, for reasons justified, the Administration authorizes its extension.

10. Agriculture, livestock and fisheries regime

In the special arrangements for agriculture, livestock and fisheries it is reduced to apply to taxable persons, natural persons, whose volume of operations does not exceed 50 million pesetas. Furthermore, commercial companies are excluded, in any event, which, by their nature, are capable of fulfilling the formal obligations laid down in general by the tax rules.

In addition, in order to maintain due correlation with the rules on the regularization of deductions for investment goods, the period of exclusion of the special regime is increased to five years in the event that the taxpayer has opted to submit to the general tax regime.

11. Joint responsibility and infringements

having regard to the characteristics of the operation of the tax and the determination of the obligations of the taxable person, which in many cases must apply reduced rates or exemptions on the basis of declarations of the addressee of the operations, the Law covers an important loophole of the previous legislation, establishing the joint responsibility of those addressees who, through their declarations or inaccurate statements unduly benefit from exemptions, cases of non-subjection or the application of rates lower tax rates for those coming under the law.

This table of responsibilities is supplemented by the classification of a special infringement for those recipients who are not entitled to the total deduction of the fees incurred and incurred in the declarations or manifestations referred to in the preceding paragraph.

5
Transitional Provisions

The new Value Added Tax regulation makes it necessary to dictate the transitional rules that resolve the taxation of those operations that are affected by legislative changes.

Thus, the following transitional provisions are set:

1. In relation to the allowances applicable to travellers from the Canary Islands, Ceuta and Melilla, the limits laid down by the previous legislation for such procedures, which coincide with the for the other Member States of the Community.

This scheme will apply until the entry into force in the Canary Islands of the Common Customs Tariff in its entirety.

2. The new regime for exemptions from operations relating to ships and aircraft will also have an impact on the operations carried out under the previous regime, in order to avoid distortions in the application of the tax.

3. The new five-year deadline for the rectification of the passed-on quotas, provided for in this Law, will apply with generality, in the same cases and conditions, to the written and non-prescribed quotas prior to its entry into force.

4. The scheme of deductions prior to the start of the activities provided for by the Law seeks to eliminate certain speculative actions arising from the previous scheme and establishes simpler rules for regularisation. of such deductions, which are sufficient reasons to move their effectiveness to the ongoing deduction processes in progress.

5. In relation to the special schemes, the effects of the resignations and options made before 1 January 1993 are recognised in order to respect the expectations of the taxpayers who made their decisions under the Previous Act.

6. Finally, in relation to intra-Community transactions, the general criterion of applying the current regime at the time of the start of the corresponding economic operation, defining as imports, has been maintained. the entries in our territory after 31 December 1992 of goods which left another Member State before that date and the abandonment, also after the date indicated, of the suspension arrangements authorized by before.
