Joint interpretative instrument between Spain and Brazil on the classification of Brazilian juros

In this paper we address the controversy that the taxation of Brazilian interest has sparked both during the period when the recast version of the Corporate Income Tax Act was in force and since the Corporate Income Tax Act came into effect. Its possible classification, either as dividends or as interest, has been analysed on several occasions by Spanish courts and tax authority, the latter having recently agreed with its Brazilian counterpart to treat it as “interest” for the purposes of the Spain/Brazil Double Taxation Convention.

Supreme Court clarifies VAT treatment of intra-group transfers of shares carried out by mixed holding companies

The Supreme Court has established ‘cassational’ doctrine regarding the treatment under value-added tax of intra-group transfers of shares by mixed holding companies. It is confirmed that the intra-group transfer of shares constitutes a financial activity that cannot generally be classified as a management support activity. Likewise, it is acknowledged that an intra-group transfer of shares may not be subject to said tax when it involves the indirect transfer of an independent economic unit, subjecting such exclusion to the circumstances surrounding the transaction.

Supreme Court rules on ‘administrative silence’ in the electricity sector: “public service” or “service of general economic interest”

The Supreme Court judgment of 10 April 2026 characterises the concept of public service under Article 24(1) of Act 39/2015 as an exception to the ‘double silence’ rule, distinguishing it from the concept of service of general economic interest, which applies in liberalized sectors such as that of electricity supply. The Supreme Court thus concludes that in seeking an authorisation to close a combined-cycle power plant, the ‘double silence’ rule applies to the effect of a presumption of approval.
