They assure that a well-intentioned measure has created a situation of economic suffocation, administrative chaos and legal uncertainty
The Spanish Association of Retailers of Fuels and Fuels (AEVECAR) and the Spanish Confederation of Gas Station Employers (CEEES) have denounced that many Spanish gas stations are on the verge of closing due to uncertainty over the payment by the tax authorities of the 20 cents per liter subsidized by gas stations from April 1. Both employers emphasize that “by ill-executing a well-intentioned measure”, they have created a situation of economic suffocation, administrative chaos and legal uncertainty.
According to these organizations, more than half of Spanish gas stations have not yet received the amounts they had to advance in April to meet the administration’s decision to reduce the price of a liter of fuel by 20 cents.
Most companies have not yet collected the early bonus refund in the month of April. And to date there is no answer from the Ministry of Finance about when the amounts advanced by entrepreneurs in the sector can be collected, causing serious damage to companies of all sizes, but especially the small ones that are doomed to fail. close if they are not paid on short notice.
AEVECAR and CEEES, in a statement, flatly reject statements by some members of the government accusing the operators of artificially raising prices to maintain the 20-cent subsidy. These demonstrations create a situation of unease and cast a shadow of distrust over an entire group.
Both employers demand respect for the entrepreneurs of a sector who are forced to apply for credit in order to advance the bonus, to take on the computer costs to adjust the issuance of invoices and to take on the costs of additional staff that are necessary. is to cover the demand created.
