I

The progressive deterioration of public finances experienced since the beginning of the economic crisis made it inevitable to adopt a series of measures at the end of 2011, through the approval of the Royal Decree-Law 20/2011, 30 In December, urgent measures in budgetary, fiscal and financial matters for the correction of the public deficit, aimed at laying the foundations for the reduction of the budget imbalance, as a starting point for achieving the economic reactivation.

In such circumstances, with a negative growth rate of the Gross Domestic Product, with a high public deficit, a rising unemployment rate and a drop in the number of occupied, among the measures incorporated in the Tax for the aforementioned Royal Decree-Law 20/2011, it was unavoidable the establishment of a temporary supplementary charge to the full state quota in the Tax on the Income of the Physical Persons, applicable for the tax periods 2012 and 2013, subsequently extended for 2014 through Law 22/2013, of 23 December, State General Budget for 2014, a charge that reinforced the progressiveness of taxes and required a notable effort on the part of taxpayers.

Once the tax collection figures have been stabilized, numerous measures have been taken in the tax area, the ultimate goal of which has been to contribute to the recovery of economic activity and growth, therefore, to the creating employment and maintaining the reduction of the public deficit, meeting the objective of stability of public finances committed to the European authorities and restoring credibility in the sustainability of public accounts.

After two years, 2012 and 2013, especially difficult in view of the rigor of the measures introduced, in a context of incipient economic recovery, an ambitious tax reform was addressed during 2014. Positive Law in Laws 26/2014 of 27 November, amending Law 35/2006 of 28 November of the Tax on the Income of Physical Persons, the recast of the Law on Income Tax of Non-Residents, adopted by Royal Decree-Law 5/2004 of 5 March 2004 and other tax rules, 27/2014, of 27 The Court of Justice of the European Communities, of the Court of Justice of the European Communities, of the European Communities, of the European Communities, of the European Communities, of the European Communities, of the European Communities, of the European Communities, of the European Communities, of the European Communities, of the European Communities, of the European Communities, of the European Communities, of the European Communities, of the European Communities, of the Fiscal Economic of the Canary Islands, Law 38/1992 of 28 December, of Excise Excise, and Law 15/2013 of 29 October, laying down certain measures in the field of environmental taxation and adopting other tax measures and financial.

This reform incorporates an important and widespread reduction in the tax burden borne by taxpayers, the ultimate realization of which must be an increase in disposable income on the part of the taxpayer, and as a result, a improvement in various economic variables.

The tax reform that came into force on 1 January 2015 was designed for a gradual implementation in two phases, 2015 and 2016, because in the framework of the economic forecasts currently in force the government acted with prudence in the reconciliation between the objectives of budgetary stability and the objective pursued with the reform to underpin economic growth and job creation. However, the evolution of the economy has been more positive than expected and the forecasts have improved continuously. The macroeconomic scenario approved in the process of drafting the State General Budget for 2015, at which time the fiscal reform was designed, provided for a real gross domestic product growth of 2 percent for this year. and, currently, the official forecast is that the growth will reach 3.3 percent. Similarly, the initial forecast for the financial year 2015 was an increase in employment, in terms of full-time equivalent jobs, of 1.4 per cent, and already in the first quarter of 2015, according to national accounting data. Quarterly, it has grown at a year-on-year rate of 2.8%, twice as expected, and growth is forecast at 3% in 2015.

The economic improvement has also been manifested in the improvement of the tax collection. The aggregate taxable bases of the main taxes grew by 2.6 percent in 2014, for the first time after six consecutive years of declines. Now, taxable bases have accelerated their growth rate in the first quarter of 2015 to 4.2 percent. In this way, tax revenues have grown steadily in the first few months of the year, even with fiscal reform already in place. Tax revenues in homogeneous terms, that is, corrected for the different rates of tax refunds and other calendar effects, grew between January and May at a year-on-year rate of 3.7 percent. In the specific case of the Income Tax of the Physical Persons, the collection in homogeneous terms is maintained at levels practically equal to the previous year, so that the good pace of the increase of the employment and the moderate improvement in the Average wages mean that the initial cost of the tax reform is being offset by the growth of the taxable income.

For these reasons, it is possible to bring forward the second phase of the reduction in the IRPF six months to July 2015. With the current evolution of the tax collection, it is advisable to speed up the implementation of some of the measures of the tax reform, bringing forward the initially designed timetable, in order to increase the tax rebate of the tax. on the Income of the Physical Persons for the financial year 2015. The automatic impact of the approval of a new tax rate, through the system of withholding and income on account, will increase the liquidity available to taxpayers throughout the second half of this year, in a sum that is estimated at 1.5 billion euros.

On the other hand, the Income Tax of the Physical Persons must address the situation of special difficulty for which certain taxpayers may be going through, so it is essential to mitigate the (a) the taxation of aid which is granted to groups in situations of particular need, while avoiding the embargo or preventing them, taking into account the tax not only on the criteria of tax justice but also on justice social.

The undeniable beneficial effects previously mentioned in order to consolidate economic recovery justify the introduction of these measures into our legal order in an immediate way, as it is, by its nature and purpose, the circumstance of extraordinary and urgent need required by Article 86 of the Constitution for the use of the royal decree-law, a prerequisite, as has been pointed out, on the other hand, by the constitutional jurisprudence.

Based on these premises, Chapter I of this Royal Decree-law consists of four articles.

The article first introduces various amendments to the Income Tax Act of the Physical Persons.

This article takes the main measure of this Royal Decree-law in which the income of taxpayers of the tax will be increased.

The implementation of such a measure is carried out by the approval of a new general government and savings scale applicable from 1 January 2015, in which the marginal costs for each of these measures are reduced by half a percentage point. one of the sections of the said scales.

In this scenario, and in order to move this disposable income increase significantly to employed and self-employed workers, it is approved, for the first of these, a new scale of retention that will be it shall take into account the calculation of the rate of withholding or income applicable to the income of the work to be satisfied or paid as from 1 August, which shall, of course, determine a general reduction of the said retention rate. However, payers may apply the new scale from the actual date of entry into force of this Royal Decree-Law.

However, it should be noted that the above does not mean that the economic effects of such a measure will be limited to reducing the tax burden on the returns satisfied as from that date, since in order to calculate the new type of retention is taken into account the new scale and the remuneration obtained since 1 January 2015, which will determine that the new rate of retention is lower to correct the excess retention incurred on the payroll The Commission has been in the form of a new strategy for the implementation of the budget. 2015.

As for self-employed workers, under the same perspective of increasing their disposable income, the rate of retention, which is fixed, whatever the level of their income, is reduced by 15 percent. one hundred from the entry into force of this Royal Decree-Law. At the same time, from that date, the rate of retention or entry into account applicable during the first three years of the start of the professional activity is reduced to 7 percent.

The above rebate requires the reduction of the amount of the fixed rate of retention applicable to income from work resulting from the provision of courses, conferences or the like, as well as the development of works literary, artistic or scientific, provided that the right to their exploitation is given.

Also, in relation to income from savings and other income subject to withholding, the rate of withholding or income applicable from the entry into force of this Royal Decree-Law, which will be fixed at 19.5, is reduced. percent versus the current 20 percent.

In addition, given the special situation for which certain taxpayers may be passing, public aid granted by the Autonomous Communities or local authorities is exempted to take care of groups in risk of social exclusion, social emergency situations, housing needs of people without resources or food needs, schooling and other basic needs of minors or persons with disabilities when they lack the means (a) sufficient economic, up to a maximum annual sum of 1,5 times the public indicator of multi-purpose income, as well as aid and assistance to victims of violent crime and against sexual freedom, and in particular victims of gender-based violence.

On the other hand, given its small size and the high number of taxpayers affected, it may even lead to higher taxation of the aid itself if, in view of the aid, it is converted into (a) to make a declaration, the aid to compensate for the costs of receiving or access to television audiovisual media services in the buildings affected by the release is also declared exempt. of the digital dividend

Finally, on the same terms as in previous exercises, it is clarified what the autonomic scale applicable to taxpayers residing in Ceuta and Melilla will be.

The second article, as a consequence of the reductions in the rates of withholding and income mentioned above, amends Law 27/2014 of 27 November of the Corporate Tax, lowering the rate of retention or applicable income of 20 to 19.5 percent from the entry into force of this Royal Decree-Law.

Likewise, for the same reasons, the third article modifies the recast text of the Non-Resident Income Tax Law, approved by the Royal Legislative Decree 5/2004, of 5 March, lowering the tax rate in Article 19 (2) and in points (a) and (f) of Article 25 (1) of the said recast text, at 19,5%, as from the entry into force of this Royal Decree-Law.

Finally, the fourth article, in order to enable the attainment of the objectives of certain benefits and aid granted by the various public administrations, is limited to the possibility of However, they must be taken into account by applying the rules already in force in the field of the Law on Civil Procedure in relation to the embargoes of salary, salary, pension, remuneration or their equivalent.

II

Chapter II of this Royal Decree-Law is made up of three articles, with the adoption of certain measures related to the energy sector.

Law 24/2013, of 26 December, of the Electrical Sector, giving continuity to what was previously provided for in Law 54/1997 of 27 November, provides for the possibility that the remuneration of the production activity may be a component in the concept of a capacity mechanism. The objective is, according to the law, to provide the system with adequate coverage margin and to encourage the availability of manageable power.

Capacity mechanisms include two types of services: the incentive for long-term capacity investment and the medium-term availability service.

The incentive for long-term investment in capacity is regulated in Order ITC/2794/2007 of 27 September 2007, for which electricity tariffs are revised from 1 October 2007, and is intended to pay back investment in new capacity, which is necessary to ensure demand coverage in the long term. This mechanism encourages the provision of the system operator of a given installed power which is credited by the start up of the generation facility.

Order ITC/2794/2007 of 27 September, in addition to the long-term investment incentive, also regulated a payment in terms of availability service, defining it as a medium-term service to complete the system adjustment services to ensure the availability of power in the short term. This availability service was developed by Order ITC/3127/2011 of 17 November, which regulates the service of the availability of power of payments by capacity and modifies the investment incentive to which it refers Annex III of Order ITC/2794/2007 of 27 September 2007 maintains the differentiation between investment incentive and availability service.

The financing mechanism for capacity payments is that provided for in the seventh additional provision of Order ITC/3860/2007 of 28 December 2007 for the review of electricity tariffs from 1 January 2008. According to the Commission, they are obliged to pay by capacity all the marketing and direct consumers on the market for the energy they actually acquire through the various forms of procurement and intended for domestic consumption. Except for the energy corresponding to the production self-consumption and the consumption of pumping.

The unit prices for the financing of the capacity payments that are currently applicable to the demand are those set out in the fourth provision of Order ITC/3353/2010 of 28 December 2010, for which the establish the access tolls from 1 January 2011 and the fees and premiums of the special scheme facilities, which are to be added for the supervalley access tolls set out in Annex I. 2.2.3 of the Order ITC/2585/2011, September 29, by which access tolls are reviewed, access toll prices are set supervalley and certain tariffs and premiums are updated for the facilities of the special scheme, from 1 October 2011, and those foreseen for access tolls 6.1A and 6.1B in Annex I. 2 of Order IET/2444/2014 of 19 December 2014, by The one that determines the electricity access tolls for 2015

In the year 2010, the prices of the payments for capacity were revised in order to bring them into line with the entry into force of the mechanism regulated in Royal Decree 134/2010 of 12 February establishing the procedure of the resolution of restrictions on security of supply and the amendment of the Royal Decree 2019/1997 of 26 December on the organisation and regulation of the market for the production of electrical energy.

This mechanism was applicable to generation plants which use indigenous coal as fuel and the costs resulting from their application would be a direct cost to the consumer contributing to their financing. through capacity payments.

The fact that on 31 December 2014 the mechanism of restrictions by guarantee of supply regulated by the aforementioned Royal Decree 134/2010, of 12 February 2010, is unextendable, motivates the review of prices for capacity payments.

On the basis of prudence criteria and even seeing the actual behavior of the demand, whose recovery has been found, the amount that consumers pay for this concept has been maintained so far, with an excess of collection in this game for the year 2015, which is also confirmed in the various liquidations of the electricity sector carried out by the National Commission of the Markets and the Competition.

In view of this situation, a review of the prices charged by consumers in terms of capacity payments, adjusting unit values, and a reduction in the amount they pay is included in this standard. currently in annual terms, thus contributing to the decrease in the electric bill that will be maintained since its entry into force.

However, by 2015 to effect an equivalent reduction of the total amount for capacity payments, it should be noted that the unit values apply only in the months of the year (August-December). which translates into an average decrease in the annual bill of consumer prices in these months higher than would represent an annual calculation.

Therefore, the measure must be taken as far as possible in order to avoid sudden leaps in the impact that these price changes could have on consumers in the event of their approval being delayed, which would break the the current price stability.

In any event, this measure is taken without any alteration, in any event, of the economic and financial sustainability of the electricity system required by Article 13 of Law 24/2013 of 26 December, since the guarantee is guaranteed by the balance between the different revenue and cost items that make up the revenue.

The second of the articles in this Chapter II incorporates a modification of the Electrical Sector Act aimed at benefiting small-power consumers who decide to self-consume electric power.

Article 9 of Law 24/2013 of 26 November of the Electricity Sector regulates self-consumption. Paragraph 3 states that ' all consumers subject to any form of self-consumption shall have an obligation to contribute to the costs and services of the system for self-consumed energy, when the generation or consumption plant is fully or partially connected to the electrical system.

To do this they will be required to pay the same network access tolls, charges associated with system costs and costs for the provision of system backup services that correspond to a non-consumer. none of the self-consumption modes described in the previous section. "

It also provides for a derogation in the case of non-peninsular territories where they entail a reduction in the costs of such systems, although no specific treatment had been envisaged for those small consumers.

Today, with this measure, the exception is extended to small-power consumers who decide to self-consume electric power with the aim of undermining the administrative, management and associated costs. Its impact on the electrical system as a whole is not significant, so it is convenient to make this load more flexible.

It is therefore appropriate to extend this exception to these cases.

In any case, such an exception will be developed by ensuring the security and economic and financial sustainability of the electrical system.

The urgent and extraordinary need, in line with other measures adopted in this Royal Decree-Law, is justified by the contribution to the economy's impulse and to the improvement of the competitiveness of this reduction of prices for electrical consumers.

III

Chapter II of this Royal Decree-Law finally collects other exceptional social measures in favour of non-competitive coal mining companies.

Council Decision 2010 /787/EU of 10 December 2010 on State aid to facilitate the closure of non-competitive mines considered that the contribution of subsidised coal to the sources of energy Indigenous people contributing to the supply of the European Union did not justify the indefinite maintenance of the subsidies, limiting until 2018 the possibility for Member States to grant aid to non-competitive mines to cover the costs related to coal for the production of electricity. To this end, it required a closure plan for non-competitive production units, so that an orderly cessation of mining activities could be developed in those production units which would be completed by 31 December 2018 at the latest.

However, this rule also provided a legal framework that would make it easier for Member States to effectively mitigate the potential detrimental effects of mine closures, especially on their social aspects, in order to achieve minimize their impact on eminently mining areas.

In our country this was translated into a Framework for Action for Coal Mining and Mining Comarcas for the period 2013-2018, agreed on 1 October 2013 by the Ministry of Industry, Energy and Tourism, with the Trade union centre FITAG-UGT, the Federation of Industry of CC.OO, the Federation of Industry of USE and, the grouping of entrepreneurs of the sector, CARBUNION. This framework, adopted in accordance with the provisions of the Council Decision of 10 December, is set up " as the instrument for the planning of public policies for the management of the coal mining sector (...) in the the scenario established by the Decision. " Pursuing, among other objectives, "mitigating the impact of job losses, as well as their impact on the regional economy."

In order to achieve the various objectives set out in it, various aid lines were allocated, including aid for exceptional costs, in one of its forms, ' the aid of a (a) social security schemes designed to finance the reduction of the workforce of coal production units to be closed. " Such aid makes it possible to assume the cost of social benefits arising from the retirement of those who do not have the statutory retirement age, or the payment of compensation to the legal system, as set out in the Annex to that decision. (a) the Community, having regard to the provisions of its Article 4 'Aid to cover exceptional costs'.

These aid lines are developed by Royal Decree 676/2014 of 1 August 2014 establishing the system of aid for labour costs intended to cover exceptional costs linked to plans for the closure of production of coal mining companies. In accordance with this rule, from 1 January 2013 to 31 December 2018, it will be possible to finance the reduction of the companies ' own templates which close their coal production units, by means of aid for labour costs for older workers and by means of voluntary low-level compensation, to which workers would be able to fulfil a set of objective requirements. Such measures allowed to cover the loss of employment of workers in the sector, whose departure was planned in a staggered manner until 31 December 2018.

However, the current circumstances of the sector, motivated by the fall in the price of coal in international markets with the consequent loss of competitiveness of domestic coal against imported coal in the In the last few months, they have led to the production of coal following a downward curve which forces the majority of companies to bring forward the date of closure initially planned and to incur declarations of competition from creditors or in situations of insolvency and liquidation that lead, inexorably, to the extinction of the work of your templates.

Thus, the international price of coal has evolved downward in the last two years having reached an average price of CIF (cost, insurance and freight) below 55 euros per tonne, in March 2015, at ports ARA (Amsterdam, Rotterdam and Antwerp) which are often used as a reference in Europe. This collapse of the fall in coal prices much more than expected at the time of the signing of the new Framework for Action for the period 2013-2018 and the uncertainty about the evolution of the international markets is causing serious competitiveness problems for both Spanish coal mining companies and other European countries which have seen their potential for indigenous coal supply enormously limited.

In this context of the closure of those non-competitive production units in the coal mining sector, the social measures adopted in Royal Decree 676/2014 of 1 August are clearly insufficient. The established requirements have been foreseen for a progressive cessation that would culminate in 2018. It is therefore important to alleviate the impact that the coming closure of mines can cause in the mining areas, where there is already a high rate of unemployment and limited job reintegration opportunities for some. workers who are doing very specific tasks, themselves of a sector in crisis, in jobs that require particular physical characteristics of the worker, in particular, great physical wear.

It is, in short, to facilitate access to aid already planned, in support of the mining companies, which arrive at this very indebted and with a lack of liquidity, bearing the cost of the reduction. of the own templates, as agreed in the Framework of Action for Coal Mining and Mining Comarcas for the period 2013-2018, the aim of which is to ensure a competitive mining of the coal sector in accordance with the established in the European Union legislation.

To do this, it is sufficient to allow the date of entry into the advanced age support system of those workers who would otherwise have been incorporated into the aid scheme in 2017 or 2018. It is therefore a question of anticipating this date by making it more flexible to meet the requirements of equivalent age and contribution period, which would be offset by a minorization of the amount of aid.

In addition, access to social aid for labour costs by means of voluntary low-paid leave is provided on an exceptional basis, to workers who are incorporated in the company's templates. private coal mining on a non-competitive basis as of 1 January 2015 and after 31 December 2011.

In the adoption of these exceptional measures of a social and voluntary nature in favour of the workers of the non-competitive coal mining companies, the circumstances of extraordinary and urgent need are met. Article 86 of the Spanish Constitution is required as an enabling budget to make use of this normative figure. The crisis in the sector, which has been exacerbated by the evolution of coal prices in international markets, makes it essential to address the social and regional impact of the closure processes, as provided for in Community legislation, and ensure, without delay, that the set of non-competitive coal mining surplus templates may be accessible to the categories of aid covered by Article 4 of Council Decision 2010 /787/EU of 10 December 2010.

IV

The text of the Royal Decree-Law is completed with an additional provision, a transitional provision and three final provisions.

The purpose of the single additional provision is to authorise the formalisation of advances made in 2014 to take account of the interest on late payments made to the European Union and to apply to 31 de December 2014.

In the financial year 2014, payments made to the European Union, resulting from interest on late payment due to the delay in making available the European Union's own resources, have been left to be formalised. (a) a debt which was born as a result of the withdrawal of goods under customs control and which was circulating under the provisions of the External Community Transit, in the amount of EUR 3,172,388,46.

By having these advances the consideration of obligations of previous exercises require for their formalization, in application of the provisions of Article 34 (4) of Law 47/2003, of November 26, General Budget, a rule with a range of law.

The principle of transparency and legal certainty requires that these obligations for previous financial years should be regularised in an immediate manner. Therefore, the circumstance of extraordinary and urgent need that Article 86 of the Spanish Constitution requires.

The three final provisions relate to, respectively, the title of competence, the possibility of modifying in the future by rules of regulatory range the content of which having said rank have been modified. by the present Royal Decree-Law and the entry into force of the Royal Decree-Law.

In its virtue, making use of the authorization contained in article 86 of the Spanish Constitution, on the proposal of the Ministers of Finance and Public Administrations and of Industry, Energy and Tourism and, after deliberation of the Council of Ministers at its meeting on the 10th of 2015,

DISPONGO:
