Language of the case: Spanish

Parties


Applicant: European Commission (represented by: W. Roels and M. Martínez Navarro, acting as Agents)

Defendant: Kingdom of Spain

Form of order sought

The applicant claims that the Court should:






—


declare that the Kingdom of Spain has failed to fulfil its obligations under Article 63 TFEU and Article 40 of the EEA Agreement (1) by maintaining in force legislative provisions which provide, only in respect of resident taxpayers, for the deferral of capital gains tax when the price agreed is received, in whole or in part, through successive payments due more than one year after, and denying that deferral to taxpayers who are not resident in Spain but are resident in another Member State or in a State party to the EEA Agreement who invest in assets or rights in Spain;










—


order the Kingdom of Spain to pay the costs.





Pleas in law and main arguments

In its action, by its single plea in law, the Commission alleges that the Kingdom of Spain has failed to fulfil its obligations under Article 63 TFEU and Article 40 of the EEA Agreement by maintaining in force legislative provisions which provide, only in respect of resident taxpayers, for the deferral of capital gains tax when the price agreed is received, in whole or in part, through successive payments due more than one year after, and denying that deferral to taxpayers who are not resident in Spain but are resident in another Member State or in a State party to the EEA Agreement who invest in assets or rights in Spain.
