GA_P advises Greene Enterprise on the financing of five wastewater treatment plants in Spain
8 of September, 2025
Gómez-Acebo & Pombo advised Greene Enterprise on the granting, by Banco Santander and the EIB, of five financing facilities to five companies in its group, each of which owns a solid waste material recovery plant located in Spain.
The transaction, for a total value of €224 million, will allow Greene to advance the construction and development of five plants to recover waste that is currently not recyclable, contributing to the transformation of tons of waste annually into raw materials such as pyrolytic oil, char, and other products, and consolidating its position as a key player in the circular economy, climate action, and regional cohesion.
The operation was carried out with the participation of Santiago Gómez-Acebo, Juan Pérez, Iñigo González and Patricia González partner and associates of the Banking and Finance team; together with Mariana Díaz-Moro partner of the Tax team.

Non-resident taxpayers may benefit from the wealth tax liability cap
All taxpayers subject to wealth tax, both residents and non-residents, are in a comparable situation and must therefore be able to apply the combined cap of Article 31(1) LIP, the existence of a real or personal obligation being irrelevant for the purposes of the comparability analysis, since the determining factor is the nature and purpose of this tax device, as well as its content.

Danish cases in Spain: Beneficial owner requirement not applicable to the non-resident income tax exemption of interest payments to EU residents
Contrary to the stance taken by the Audiencia Nacional, the Valencia High Court of Justice takes the view that the exemption of interest payments to European Union residents should be applied in accordance with the terms that the national legislature has chosen to keep, without the additional requirements of Directive 2003/49/EC. If abusive practices are found to exist, tax regularisation must be carried out by resorting to one of the general anti-abuse clauses provided for in the Taxation Act.

Payment service providers’ rectification of unauthorised or incorrectly executed payment transactions: user obligations
The Court of Justice of the European Union (Fourth Chamber), in its judgment of 1 August 2025, case C-665/23, IL v. Veracash SAS, concludes that a payer is deprived of the right to reimbursement of the amount of an unauthorised transaction if he or she delayed in notifying his or her payment service provider of the unauthorised payment transaction, even though he or she did so within 13 months from the debit date. This interpretation of the Payment Services Directive is applicable in Spain (Art. 43 RDL 19/2018) and appears to be retained in the future Regulation on payment services.

The Court of Justice upholds the annulment of the European Commission's third decision on the scheme for the tax amortisation of financial goodwill
La Sentencia del Tribunal de Justicia de 26 de junio del 2025 declara que las dos primeras decisiones de la Comisión Europea sobre la incompatibilidad con las normas sobre ayudas estatales del régimen de amortización fiscal del fondo de comercio financiero generaron confianza legítima sobre el alcance y límites de la obligación de recuperación, incluyendo dentro de su alcance las adquisiciones directas e indirectas de participaciones en empresas extranjeras. Por tanto, no cabe la recuperación retroactiva de las ayudas relacionadas con adquisiciones indirectas cubiertas por las dos primeras decisiones, por lo que debe procederse a su devolución junto con los intereses de demora.

CJEU clarifies conditions under which EU law may prohibit national tax exemptions
For the Grand Chamber of the CJEU, a tax exemption based on objective and non-discriminatory criteria and integrated into the logic of the legal system which it accompanies is inherent in the ‘normal’ tax regime and does not, in principle, confer a selective advantage. In such cases, the conditions for granting the exemption are neutral from the point of view of competition, as the fact that some undertakings satisfy those conditions, while others do not, is not relevant in the light of the rules on State aid.
