Analisis of the TEAC resolution of July 17, 2020, where it is once again initiated the debate on the deductibility of the remuneration of executive administrators, and its correlation with the “Relationship Principle” or “Teoría del Vínculo” in the mercantile sphere. This is an issue that had already been clarified with the new tax law and the binding doctrine of the DGT.

The implementation of an adequate economic policy is urgent to overcome the challenges posed by the depth of the crisis in Spain and strengthen recovery.
