1. In case the stocks had been contributed or exchanged with other companies without cash realisation, such latter companies could also realign the value of the stocks exchanged.
2. By payment of the 19 % capital gain tax, both the companies holding the banking assets, and the companies holding the stock of the companies in question could realign their tax bases, respectively, of the assets and of the stocks concerned.
3. The Italian authorities and the interested parties have observed that none of the nine beneficiaries of the scheme would have ever accepted to realign the value of their assets had they known that they would have been subject to the ordinary company tax on the gains so recognised.
4. The capital gain tax was however reduced to 15 % (in lieu of the 19 % substitute tax), if the banking company elected to only realign the tax value of its assets, rather than both the value of the assets and of the stock.
5. The interested parties also claim that there would be no specific advantage in favour of the restructured banks, should one compare the substitute tax paid to realign their gains and the tax payable by other companies having undergone similar tax-neutral reorganisations.
6. Furthermore, Italy considers that the realignment scheme of Article 2(26) of Law 350/2003 was less flexible as it provided to opt for the realignment of all the remaining gains resulting from the historic reorganisation, while the implicit realignment scheme of Article 2(25) provided for the possibility to realign the single assets registering an inherent gain.
7. The main purpose of the revised plan is to realign the 2005 figures with the budget presented after the initial plan, so the activity forecast for 2005 has been revised, the €/$ exchange rate has been adapted to the present situation, and the rate of implementation of the economic measures has been readjusted in line with what has been achieved.
8. The Commission considers in particular that the tax scheme in review provided an advantage represented by the difference between the tax effectively paid to realign the value of the assets and the tax which would have been normally paid if the same realignment would have been made in the absence of the same Article 2(26) of Law 350/2003.
9. Such difference would total a fraction of the tax on the revaluation made and should even be reduced by the tax in excess paid to realign assets that do not give rise to taxable gains if sold (assets the transfer of which gives rise to exempt capital gains).
10. The expert detailed the main points of difference between the initial plan as presented in October and its April 2005 update. The main purpose of the revised plan is to realign the 2005 figures with the budget presented after the initial plan, so the activity forecast for 2005 has been revised, the €/$ exchange rate has been adapted to the present situation, and the rate of implementation of the economic measures has been readjusted in line with what has been achieved.
11. In parallel to the realignment of the assets and shares exchanged in the described banking reorganisations, Article 19 of Law 342/2000 provided that the same substitute capital gain tax could be paid by the companies willing to realign the tax bases of the assets and shares held following any other company reorganisations which benefited from the tax neutrality regime pursuant to the said D.Lgs.
12. Unlike what the Commission alleged in its opening of the formal investigation procedure however, the possible advantage resulting from by Article 2(26) of Law 350/2003 would, according to Italy, only amount to the difference between the substitute tax of 9 % paid by the beneficiary banks on their unrecognised gains and the tax of 15 % payable on the same possible gains of all the other companies eligible to realign their asset values.
13. In particular, the Commission considered that Article 2(26) of Law 350/2003 provided a financial advantage represented by the difference between the tax effectively paid in 2004 to realign the value of the assets and the tax which would have been normally borne if the same realignment would have been made in the absence of the same Article 2(26) of Law 350/2003.
14. The Commission therefore concludes that the possibility to realign was a general tax measure and the reduced substitute tax as opposed to the ordinary company tax applicable at the time did not provide any competitive advantage to the companies in question because it was applied under identical conditions to all undertakings choosing to recognise the historical gains realised but temporarily non-recognised under the relevant provisions of Law 218/1990 or Legislative Decree 358/1997. The Commission therefore concludes that such realignments are general measures justified by the logic of the tax system and do not constitute State aid.
15. Both the implicit realignment and the explicit revaluation schemes would have provided for the same substitute taxes of 19 % and 15 % as described. Unlike what the Commission alleged in its opening of the formal investigation procedure however, the possible advantage resulting from by Article 2(26) of Law 350/2003 would, according to Italy, only amount to the difference between the substitute tax of 9 % paid by the beneficiary banks on their unrecognised gains and the tax of 15 % payable on the same possible gains of all the other companies eligible to realign their asset values.
