The Royal Decree Law temporarily reduces the ceiling of the application of deductions from 35 to 25%. This eliminates indefinitely accelerated depreciation, which continue to exist only for SMEs and for expansion of staff, which will have a positive impact, as the Executive, 840 million euros.
It eliminates the possibility of deferring to other exercises tax benefits, which will be raised 210 million, temporarily change the system of partial payments, 2,500 million more, and limiting the deduction of financing costs indefinitely for 30% this heading, provided from one million euros, involving a further 1,050 million.

Tax snuff
Restructuring the tax system Tax on the Work of Snuff, acting on specific stretches and ad valorem taxes imposed on cigarettes. This measure would increase state revenues by 150 million euros this year:
We review the tax structure in the case of cigarettes, increasing the weight of the specific component versus ad valorem component, which is reduced by two points.
Thus, the cigarettes will be taxed by a flat rate of 55% (previously 57%) and a specific type of 19 euros per 1,000 cigarettes (so far, the specific type was 12.5 euros per 1,000 ), while the bite will be rolling the proportion of 41.5% and a specific 8 euros per kilo.
Taking as practical example shows a pack of 20 cigarettes snuff it takes on average 4 euros:
If you apply the flat rate of 55% would lower the price about 8 cents (2.28 euros presumably on those 4-to 57% – 2.20 would represent the final price).
On the other hand, if before a pack of 20 cigarettes a specific type assumed 25 cents on the price (when 1,000 cigarettes were valued at 12.5 euros), now with the further increase to 19 euros per 1,000 cigarettes, this is expensive 13 cents, to 38.
Thus, by having to subtract 8 cents proportional rate (the 55%) at the price of a pack of 4 euros, while adding 13 cents on the specific type (19 euros per 1,000 cigarettes), the final price would increase at 5 cents.
