Automatic summary, not yet reviewed

  1. Since the 2019 State Budget was not passed, the previous budget was automatically extended and 2018 figures were being used. This rule corrects that so advance payments to regional and local governments reflect the revenue actually forecast for 2019.
  2. It updates the advance payments of the financing system for common-regime autonomous communities. To calculate them, it uses the figures from the 2019 budget bill, but removes the effect of the tax measures it included, which were never passed.
  3. All other reference data are taken as they stood on January 1, 2019. The update applies to payments the State makes to the autonomous communities after this rule takes effect.
  4. It regulates the final settlement of local governments' share of State taxes for 2017. If a local government owes money as a result, it will repay it through deductions from future payments, over a maximum period of three years.
  5. It updates the 2019 advance payments for local governments, using the rules from the 2018 budget law with updated data. Local governments must submit their certifications of fiscal effort for 2017 before January 31, 2020.
  6. Budget supplements are approved to fund these updated amounts. The Interterritorial Compensation Funds rule from the 2018 budget law is extended to 2019, and the rule takes effect on the day it is published in the official gazette.

Who it affects

  • Common-regime autonomous communities: Receive updated advance payments under their financing system during 2019.
  • Municipalities, provinces and other local governments: Receive updated advance payments and must repay any amounts owed from the 2017 settlement through deductions from future payments.
  • General State Administration: Must process the payments and approve the necessary budget supplements.
  • Suppliers contracting with public administrations: Could be affected if governments delay payments, something this rule tries to prevent.
