Las gas intensive industry companies -such as ceramics, tiles, paper, glass, iron, steel, aluminum, synthetic fibers and food products, among others- will be able to access the collection of grants of the line of aid approved by the Government at the end of 2022 even if they are not up to date in the payment to its suppliers within the legal term and even if the amount of the aid requested exceeds the border of the 30,000 euros.
This has been approved by Congress of Deputies this Thursday after incorporating an amendment in this direction taking advantage of the processing of the bill that creates the Financial Client Defense Authority. The amendment, in any case, establishes that even if the company does not comply with the legal terms of payment to suppliers At the time of the aid application, you must prove that you are “to the six months from the effective collection of the subsidy”; in addition, it is added that failure to comply with this extension period “will constitute grounds for full reimbursement of the subsidy”.
The introduction of this amendment, which affects the so-called ‘law creates and grows’ (in the point relating to the general law of subsidies), has been promoted from the Ministry of Economy. From the Multisectoral Platform against Morosity (PMcM), its president, Antoni Cañete, has agreed with the fact that the law creates and grows temporarily – promoted by the PMcM – in this direction, “but only if this modification is limited temporarily (six months) and if with this they solve their delinquency problems”. Otherwise, adds Cañete, the exception “would mean a clear and dangerous step backwards.”
Up to 25 million per business group
The law creates and grows (which was published in the BOE on September 28, 2022) establishes that large companies with more than 250 workers that apply for a subsidy greater than 30.000 euros They must prove compliance with the legal payment terms with their suppliers through a certification issued by an auditor registered with the Official Register of Auditors.
