VALUE INCREASED OF URBANISED LAND. REFLECTIONS ABOUT THE TAX ON THE VALUE INCREASE OF URBAN LAND.: Analysis of the New Regulations of 2021

In October 2021, occurred the declaration of nullity of the tax on value increase of land that was established by the Constitutional Court in its ruling 182/2021. Such a situation has been corrected with Royal Decree-Law 26/2021, of November 8, through which an adaptation to constitutional jurisprudence is produced, making various changes to the previous regulations, contained in the revised text from 2004 of the Regulatory Law of Local Treasury.
