  • Regulations cannot expand the legal powers of the works council or the collective agreement.

Spanish Tax Penalties and Infringements under LGT

Law4.81 KB

Understanding Tax Penalties and Discounts in Spain

Important Note: A total discount of 47.5% may be applied to tax sanctions. Some interpretations suggest that these discounts, particularly the 48.75% figure, could infringe upon the right to effective judicial protection, as they may discourage taxpayers from challenging the settlement and sanction.

Agreement Protocol: 50% Penalty Reduction

When the Tax Inspection and the taxpayer agree that the law is vague, signing an agreement can lead to a 50% reduction in the penalty for any infringement.

Basic Types of Tax Offenses (Articles 191, 192, 193 LGT)

Note: The most serious offenses include not only failing to pay due amounts but also unduly requesting refunds, among others.

Key Concepts in Public Law Evolution

Understanding the Evolution of Public Law

The Principle of Legality (Top Juridica)

  • Originates from the Constitution of 1833 (Art. 160).
  • It is the basis of the Chilean government.
  • Currently enshrined in Article 7 of the Constitution (CPR).

This principle establishes requirements for acts of public bodies. Public bodies must behave differently than private entities; their actions are more limited. Public bodies can only act if the law permits it.

The principle "under the Constitution or laws" means public bodies can only do what the Constitution or laws permit.

Differences between Public and Private Law:

  • Private Law: You can do everything that is not prohibited.
  • Public Law: You can do only what is permitted.

Legal Concepts: Expertise, Ultrapetita, and Judicial Indexing

Law2.86 KB

Complementary Expertise in Legal Proceedings

In cases where the court determines a defendant's obligation but not the exact amount or value, complementary expertise becomes crucial. The court may quantify the evidence precisely after evaluating the experts' performance, undertaking actions that the judge might otherwise be unable to perform independently.

This principle is underscored in the final part of Article 159 LOPT, concerning the publication of a sentence. It states that the judge may, if necessary, order additional expertise on the subject, to be conducted by a single expert appointed by the Court.

Understanding Ultrapetita in Court Judgments

A judge commits the vice of ultrapetita if, in their sentence, they decide issues extraneous to...
