Historical jurisprudence
The Plenary of the Constitutional Court, on February 16, 2017, partially unanimously considered the question of unconstitutionality raised by the Administrative Court No. 3 of Donostia, in relation to several articles of Foral Regulation 16/1989, of July 5, of the Tax on the Increase of the Value of Land of Urban Nature of the historical territory of Guipúzcoa.
On March 1, 2017, the TC issued a Judgment, in the same sense as the previous one, in relation to Foral Rule 46/1989, of July 19 (Law 3916/1989), of the Tax on the Increase of the Value of The Land of Urban Nature of the historical territory of Álava.
The court declares, therefore, unconstitutional and null and void the regulation of the surplus value contained in these statutory norms.
The first thing to note is that the tax is not considered unconstitutional on a general basis by the TC, but only in the cases in which it subjects to taxation inexpressive situations of economic capacity, that is those that do not present increase of value of the land to the Moment of transmission, so that the tax has not disappeared, only its regulation will be subject to modification by the legislator.
That the ruling of the court falls on foral rules, implies that these Judgments only affect the territories of Guipúzcoa and Álava, even if said regulation is a copy of articles 104 and 107 of the Law of Local Haciendas.
The TC must rule on the constitutionality of the state regulations in matters of unconstitutionality that has pending.
According to circular 7/2017, published on February 20, 2017, the Spanish Federation of Municipalities and Provinces has requested a report from the Directorate General of Taxes, in order to clarify the current tax situation and the actions to be carried out in Both this issue is resolved by the Constitutional Court.
Likewise, the Spanish Federation of Municipalities and Provinces, on February 28, 2017, discussed this matter, urging the Ministry of Finance and Public Administration to resolve as soon as possible the situation created by the "declarations of unconstitutionality" of the Constitutional Court.
In view of the above and the existing reports on this matter, this motion is presented in order to avoid the City of Totana litigation by the taxpayers, who could finalize in Judgments unfavorable for the City Council with possible convictions in Costs, with consequent economic damages.
