Amendments by the Create and Grow Law to the Money Laundering Prevention Law

03/11/2022

This Law introduces some amendments to the Prevention of Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing Law.

Some of these amendments are of less significance, and others show changes in relation to various aspects of the obligations of the persons obliged to comply with the regulations. It is a real opportunity for those who must comply with the rigorous obligations of the law to find an avenue that facilitates effective regulatory compliance, and in turn reduces obstacles to expanding their business.

Consult the modifications introduced by the "Crea y Crece" Law in the information alert from our Prevention of Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing department.

Special Tax on non-reusable plastic packaging

18/10/2022

Information alert from the Tax Law Department.

On 1 January, the new Special Tax on non-reusable plastic packaging shall come into force in Spain. After its approval with the publication of Law 7/2022, of 8 April, on Waste and Contaminated Soils for a Circular Economy (BOE 9/4/2022), it has been found that it shall affect many more companies than it might seem at first. It is important to give it the attention it deserves, since the formal obligations that come with its entry into force are relevant, perhaps more burdensome, in many cases, than the obligation to join.

Consult the informative alert prepared by our Tax Law Department to find out about the main new features introduced by the Law.
