Spain’s Constitutional Court lifts suspension on Catalonia’s vacant flat tax

MadridSources within the judiciary speaking for Europa Press reported that the Spanish Constitutional Court (TC) has agreed to lift the ban it had imposed on May 3 on Catalonia’s vacant flat tax, a bill which was passed by the Catalan Parliament.

The decision was taken during the Court’s plenary session held last week, just as the five-month cautionary suspension period was about to expire, following the court’s automatic decision to suspend the Catalan law, once the Spanish government had lodged a formal complaint against it.

Even though the temporary suspension could have been extended, the judges decided against it.
