Hence its importance for Portugal, one of the countries in which this situation is making itself felt, bearing in mind the price differences between our country and Spain: Portuguese enterprises suffer competition from Spanish enterprises because the latter benefit from lower fuel prices - fuel representing around 30% of costs - due to lower fuel tax (and VAT).
Siit ka raporti olulisus Portugali jaoks, mis on üks riikidest, kus see olukord tunda annab, võttes arvesse hinnaerinevusi meil ja Hispaanias. Portugali ettevõtjad kaotavad konkurentsis Hispaania ettevõtjatele, sest Hispaanias on tänu madalamale kütusemaksule (ja käibemaksule) kütuse hinnad madalamad ja kütus moodustab ligikaudu 30 % kuludest.
