The European Commission has decided to refer Spain to the Court of Justice of the European Union to ensure that the Spanish legislation, the Inheritance and Gift Tax legislation of the Territorio Histórico de Bizkaia, complies with EU law.
Under the provisions of the Inheritance and Gift Tax legislation of the Territorios Históricos de Alava y Bizkaia, public debt issued by the local administrations (la Comunidad Autónoma del País Vasco, the Diputaciones Forales or the Entidades Locales Territoriales de los tres Territorios Históricos)benefits from a preferential inheritance tax treatment compared to that applied to other similar titles issued in other EU/EEA States. This difference in tax treatment discriminates against investments in public debt issued by other EU Member States or EEA States.
