17 October, 2022
The Business Council Alliance for Latin America (CEAPI) has held in Madrid the Forum “Madrid Capital of Ibero-American Internationalisation”. Francisco Gil, partner of Corporate, discussed in this forum the different investment opportunities offered by the Spanish capital, specifically the advantages offered by holding companies.
Francisco referred to the advantages of creating holding companies in Spain, including investment promotion and protection agreements, with all the European guarantees against political risks. In addition, it is a regime that favours the attraction of management talent.
Personalities such as Isabel Díaz Ayuso, President of the Community of Madrid, among others, took part in this forum.
The aim of this forum is to promote trusting relationships and to strengthen strategic links between Ibero-American businessmen and investors. It also seeks to encourage co-investment between Spain and America, and to promote Ibero-American companies, with Madrid as the best setting for strengthening ties.

Does Article 34 of the Spanish Land Registration Act (re bona fide purchasers) cure a mortgage loan in breach of the prohibition on financial assistance?
In Judgment no. 1469/2026 of 22 September, the Supreme Court states, unequivocally, that Article 34 LH (re bona fide purchasers) cures the mortgage loan in breach of the prohibition on assistance.

CJEU requires actual neutralisation of tax discrimination against non-resident collective investment schemes or, where there is tax transparency, against their unitholders
The Court of Justice of the European Union has ruled in response to the Supreme Court that imposing a heavier tax burden on U.S. regulated investment companies than on resident collective investment schemes constitutes a restriction on the free movement of capital. Although such a restriction may be neutralised by the applicable double taxation treaty, that neutralisation must not be a merely theoretical possibility but must actually and fully be implemented, including with respect to the unitholders.
