Automatic summary, not yet reviewed

  1. It approves the methodology for setting the Basque Country's quota, that is, its contribution to the general charges of the State, for the years 2017 to 2021.
  2. The quota is calculated by applying an imputation index of 6.24% to the total State charges not taken on by the Autonomous Community, and then applying adjustments and compensations.
  3. The quota is first set for the base year (2017) and then updated each year using an index based on the State's forecast revenue from agreed taxes.
  4. If the Basque Country takes on or stops exercising new powers during the five-year period, the quota is revised accordingly. It is also revised if State tax law or the regional funding system changes.
  5. Payment is made in three equal installments each year: May, September and December. The provisional quotas are settled definitively each May of the following year.
  6. The liquid quota for 2017 is set at 1,304,535.50 thousand euros, and the net amount to pay, after Álava's compensation, at 1,300,108.97 thousand euros.

Who it affects

  • The Autonomous Community of the Basque Country: Must pay the State the quota calculated under this methodology, in three installments a year.
  • The Historical Territories (Álava, Gipuzkoa and Bizkaia): The quota is split among them and compensations apply, such as Álava's.
  • The Joint Commission of the Economic Agreement: Takes part in the adjustments, revisions and settlements of the quota.

Where does all this come from?

  • The data comes from the open files of the Congreso, the Senate and the BOE, unaltered.
  • Each deputy’s province is the one of their seat on the day of the vote.
  • We only say “passed” or “rejected” when the majority needed is certain; otherwise we say which side had more votes.
