28 Feb 2024  |  OndaCero  |  Spanish  |  Law Enforcement

The patrol boat Petrel, part of the Servicio de Vigilancia Aduanera, arrived in Vigo after seizing 200 kilos of cocaine from a Venezuelan-flagged sailboat named 'Assashio' intercepted 500 miles off the Canary Islands. The operation, conducted on February 21, was a joint effort by the Agencia Tributaria, Policía Nacional, and Guardia Civil, with international collaboration from France's DNRED and the U.S. DEA. The sole Portuguese crew member was arrested, and the drugs were transferred to the Petrel due to the sailboat's deteriorated condition, which led to its sinking. The operation highlights the ongoing efforts to combat drug trafficking along the 'Atlantic Route' and underscores the successful cooperation between various European and national agencies.

Hacienda frena el renting de coches de particulares

02 Oct 2023  |  www.cocheglobal.com  |  Spanish  |  Tax Policy

Car leasing is growing among individuals and freelancers in Spain but could expand further without tax restrictions imposed by Hacienda. Allowing monthly leasing fees as tax deductions could save individuals an average of 1,200 euros annually. Sumauto reports a 14-point increase in private car leasing, now representing 16% of the total vehicle market in 2022. Current tax policies prevent individuals from deducting leasing fees, unlike in other countries with more favorable tax frameworks. Sumauto argues that tax incentives for leasing would rejuvenate the car fleet and promote safer, more efficient vehicles. Íñigo Breña from RentingCoches emphasizes that incentivizing leasing could also drive the adoption of electric vehicles.
