 between 2008-2010 for an amount of tax due of 1,831 thousand euros (2,337 thousand euros in total including late-payment interest), after a tax settlement was issued in execution of a decision made by the Central Tax Appeal Board partially upholding the claim. The dispute regarding the administrative-financial claim lodged before the Central Tax Appeal Board on 25 March 2019 against the settlement agreement issued in relation to the disputed tax assessment concerning VAT for the period 07/2012 to 12/2014 which contained an adjustment for a tax amount due of 5,638 thousand euros (6,938 thousand euros in total including late-payment interest) in relation to various sector-based issues ended in the 2022 financial year. In June 2022, the Bank received a ruling from this court partially upholding the claim, which notifies the corresponding implementing agreement in December, resulting in a total reimbursement of 9,443 thousand euros. The Group has, in any event, made suitable provisions for any contingencies that it is considered may arise in relation to these procedures. In relation to items for which the statute of limitations is unexpired, due to potential differences in the interpretation of tax regulations, the results of the tax authority inspections for the years subject to review may give rise to contingent tax liabilities, which it is not possible to quantify objectively. However, the Group considers that the possibility of such liabilities materialising is remote, and if they did materialise, the resulting tax charge would not be such as to have any significant impact on these consolidated annual financial statements.
