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.
