Conceição Gamito, senior lawyer in the Tax area, was interviewed by Lusa concerning recent measures adopted in Spain to bring down IRS on Real Estate payments for the banking sector, which could - according to the tax experts who have spoken to Lusa - be an example that will be followed in other countries shortly, at the same time, so say the same experts, risking destabilising the equality of the tax system.


Conceição Gamito is of the opinion that 'Spain may well be just the first country to take steps in this direction and that it is possible, although at this stage improbable, that this may catch on in other countries'. As it stands she says that it is a situation, which 'gives the banking sector particular privileges', and maintains that all investors should have access to similar benefits.
