  "account": "The courts have backed Repsol in one of its battles against the tax authorities. The National Court has suspended the payment of 152 million euros for the 2023 temporary energy levy, the tax that the Government imposed on the energy sector ―which was extended to financial entities― in an attempt to alleviate the energy crisis and inflation. The Contentious-Administrative Chamber has accepted the precautionary measure requested by the company chaired by Antonio Brufau to avoid irreparable harm while this lawsuit against the Tax Agency is resolved.",
  "summary": "The Contentious Chamber understands that the disbursement may cause irreparable harm to the company before it resolves the appeal.",
