DOCTRINA DEL TRIBUNAL ECONÓMICO ADMINISTRATIVO
Fraude de ley. Articulo 24 de la Ley General Tributaria (Ley 230/1963). Se confirma la existencia de fraude de ley, al concurrir las características delimitadoras de esta figura en el caso contemplado: Constitución de una holding en España, de un Grupo internacional; en ella y en la entidad operativa del Grupo, que se hace depender de ella y con la que consolida fiscalmente, se solicitan unos préstamos, básicamente intragrupo, para la adquisición de acciones de otras del Grupo, que son meras recolocaciones patrimoniales sin sustancia económica o empresarial alguna, con el único objetivo de minorar la tributación en España: tanto en el holding español, como en la entidad operativa se deducen unos gastos financieros fruto de aquel endeudamiento que determina en la empresa operativa una reducción drástica de beneficios y en la holding unas perdidas, casi coincidentes con el importe de los gastos financieros, que se compensan con las rentas positivas restantes de la empresa operativa, con el resultado final de que estas rentas quedan sin tributar

CASE LAW FROM THE ECONOMIC-ADMINISTRATIVE COURT
Abuse of law (frau legis). Section 24 of the General Tax Act (Law 230/1963). Abuse of law is upheld, given that the case under consideration is characteristic of this kind of activity: the incorporation of a holding company, belonging to an international group. Both at the holding company as well as at the operations arm of the group -a group which is now controlled by the holding company and with which it consolidates for tax purposes- loans are taken out, mainly intragroup loans, to buy stock in other group companies. These purchases are simply movements of assets and are not backed by any economic or business substance whatsoever. This is for the sole purpose of reducing the tax burden in Spain. As a result of that borrowing, financial expenses are deducted at both the Spanish holding company and the operations company. This means that the operations company incurs a huge reduction in profits, while the holding company posts losses that almost match the amount of the financial expenses and which are offset against the remaining profits of the operations company. The outcome is that this revenue is not taxed.

2) Bases de presentación
(a) Imagen fiel
Las cuentas anuales del ejercicio 2009 se han preparado de acuerdo con la legislación mercantil vigente y con las normas establecidas en el Plan General de Contabilidad, con el objeto de mostrar la imagen fiel del patrimonio y de la situación financiera al 31 de marzo de 2009 y de los resultados de sus operaciones, de los cambios en el patrimonio neto y de sus flujos de efectivo correspondientes al ejercicio anual terminado en dicha fecha. Las cuentas anuales del ejercicio 2009 son las primeras que la Sociedad prepara aplicando el Plan General de Contabilidad aprobado por el Real Decreto 1514/2007. En este sentido, de acuerdo con la Disposición Transitoria Cuarta apartado 1 del citado Real Decreto, se han considerado las cuentas anuales del ejercicio 2009 como cuentas anuales iniciales, por lo que no se incluyen cifras comparativas. En la nota 21 “Aspectos derivados de la transición a las nuevas normas contables” se incluye el balance y la cuenta de pérdidas y ganancias incluidos en las cuentas anuales del ejercicio 2008 aprobadas por la Junta General de Accionistas de fecha XX XXXX XXXX, que fueron formuladas aplicando el Plan General de Contabilidad vigente en dicho ejercicio junto con una explicación de las principales diferencias entre los criterios contables aplicados en el ejercicio anterior y los actuales, así como la cuantificación del impacto que produce esta variación de criterios contables en el patrimonio neto al 1 de abril de 2008, que es la fecha de transición y por tanto de elaboración del balance de apertura.
Según lo mencionado en la nota 21 y lo dispuesto en la Disposición Transitoria Primera del Real Decreto 1514/2007, la Sociedad ha optado por valorar todos los elementos patrimoniales del balance de apertura conforme a los principios y normas vigentes al 31 de marzo de 2008, salvo los instrumentos financieros que se valoran por su valor razonable.

(2) Basis of presentation
(a) Fair view
The annual accounts for 2009 have been prepared in accordance with prevailing legislation and the new Spanish General Chart of Accounts (NPGC) to present fairly the equity and financial position at 31 March 2009 and results of operations, changes in equity, and cash flows for the year then ended. The annual accounts for 2009 are the first the Company has prepared applying the Spanish General Chart of Accounts approved by Royal Decree 1514/2007. In accordance with section one of the fourth transitional provision of this Royal Decree, the 2009 annual accounts have been considered as the opening annual accounts and, therefore, do not include comparative figures. Note 21, "Issues Arising from Transition to the New Accounting Principles", presents the balance sheet and statement of profit and loss forming part of the 2008 annual accounts approved by the shareholders at the annual general meeting held on XX XXXX XXXX, which were prepared in accordance with the Spanish General Chart of Accounts in force during that year. This note also contains an explanation of the main differences between the accounting principles applied in the current year and those applied in the previous year, as well as a quantification of the impact of this change in accounting criteria on equity at 1 April 2008, which is the transition date and, therefore, the opening balance sheet date.
As mentioned in note 21 and pursuant to the first transitional provision of Royal Decree 1514/2007, the Company has opted to measure all equity items in the opening balance sheet in accordance with principles and standards prevailing at 31 March 2008, except for financial instruments which are measured at fair value.
