"
"As for the Goodwill (IIVTNU), it will not undergo quantitative but qualitative changes in the sense that we will give more facilities on the part of the administration at the time of paying the tax, because we incorporate the 'declaration and subsequent liquidation 'and until now we only had the' self-liquidation regime ', with which the citizen will avoid mistakes because he will submit the declaration and it will be the administration that liquidates, "Abellán detailed.
