It follows from paragraph 7 of article 18 of the Fund Law that from the amount of CLSU to be considered for the purpose of setting the amount of contributions must be deducted:
a) Compensatory interest, in accordance with general tax law, due on the established contribution amount, where the entry or settlement of the extraordinary contribution are delayed or defective due to the fault of companies required to contribute;
b) Other revenues that under the law are assigned to the financing of net costs to be compensated in the period preceding the designation by tender and that are available in the compensation fund at the time the contribution entry procedure starts.
Given that this is the first time the compensation fund will be activated, there is no amount of compensatory interest to be deducted to the amount of CLSU to be considered. On the other hand, it is noted that no other revenues have been assigned, under paragraph 7b) of article 18 of the Fund Law, thus the final amount to be considered for the purpose of the setting of the amount of contributions corresponds exactly to the overall amount of CLSU for 2007-2009 approved by ICP - ANACOM in its determination of 19.09.2013, which corresponds to 66 810 982.34 Euros (sixty six million, eight hundred and ten thousand, nine hundred and eighty two Euros and thirty four cents).
Under the conditions described, the following table presents the values of contributions required of each company/body in the proportion of the respective eligible turnover achieved in 2013, in compliance with article 18 of the Fund Law.
