How the DGT's position has evolved
Current position
The volume of income for the objective estimation limit excludes current or capital subsidies and indemnities. CAP (Common Agricultural Policy) aid does not affect this excluding magnitude. The compensation from the special regime for agriculture, livestock, and fishing must always be included as it is a consideration and not a subsidy or indemnity.
The DGT's position remains constant regarding the exclusion of subsidies and indemnities for the income limit. It has been systematically reiterated that the compensation from the REAGP must be computed as a consideration. No doctrinal changes are observed in this matter throughout the analyzed rulings.
