Automatic summary, not yet reviewed
- The law amends Article 1 of Law 23/2010 to add the Tax on the deposit of waste in landfills, incineration and coincineration of waste to the list of taxes transferred to the Comunitat Valenciana. To do this, it changes section 1 of Article 73 of the Statute of Autonomy.
- The transferred tax applies to waste delivered to landfills or incineration and coincineration facilities. Autonomous communities can raise the rates in their territory, and the revenue is assigned based on where the taxable event takes place.
- The transfer was agreed by the Joint Transfer Commission on September 30, 2022. The law adapts the Statute of Autonomy and sets the specific rules for this transfer.
- The law takes effect the day after its publication in the Official State Gazette, but applies retroactively from January 1, 2023.
Who it affects
- The Comunitat Valenciana: Receives the revenue from one more tax, the tax on waste deposited in landfills, incinerated or coincinerated.
- Companies and individuals delivering waste to landfills or incineration facilities in the Comunitat Valenciana: Pay a tax whose revenue now goes to this autonomous community.
- The Spanish State: No longer receives the revenue from this tax in the territory of the Comunitat Valenciana.
