The Supreme Administrative Court dismissed the appeal by A... SA against the tax authority regarding the 2020 Extraordinary Contribution on the Energy Sector. The court found that natural gas distributors were required to pay a tax intended to reduce the sector's tariff debt, despite neither having contributed to nor benefited from that specific debt reduction. Consequently, the court ruled that no legal equivalence existed between the services provided by the distributors and the tax liability imposed upon them.

SUMÁRIO

No que respeita à Contribuição Extraordinária sobre o Sector Energético de 2020, e por referência às empresas distribuidoras de gás natural, o nexo de equivalência entre as prestações efectuadas e o tributo liquidado não se comprova, porquanto é exigido às empresas distribuidoras de gás natural que paguem um tributo afecto à redução da dívida tarifária do sector energético para a qual não contribuíram, nem da qual beneficiam.
