Ejaso has taken a further step in its growth process and has announced the launch of a new unit specialising in excise duties, with Nicolás Bonilla as head. The lawyer joins from Grupo Arola where he worked in the Tax & Legal area for more than seven years.

With an outstanding professional career spanning more than a decade in the legal and tax fields, Nicolás Bonilla joins Ejaso as a senior associate in the tax area to lead this new practice. His previous experience includes key roles in firms such as Grupo Arola or companies such as Banco Santander, where he has accumulated extensive expertise in special and environmental tax advice. At Grupo Arola, Nicolás worked in the Tax & Legal area for more than seven years, consolidating his knowledge in the field and his ability to tackle the most complex challenges in this area. Previously, at Banco Santander, his work as Compliance and Internal Control Analyst gave him a global perspective on technological risks, quality and regulatory compliance.

“Our new Excise Tax practice represents a significant step in expanding our services to meet the evolving needs of our clients,” said Juan Enrique Altimis, Managing Partner of the Tax practice and member of the Board of Directors. “We are delighted to welcome Nicolás Bonilla, whose experience and leadership will be fundamental to the success of this initiative,” adds Alberto López, tax partner.

Special Taxes

Among the services offered are advice on alcohol and alcoholic beverage taxes, hydrocarbon taxes, and the tax on non-reusable plastic packaging. The team also offers advice on a range of additional services related to excise and environmental taxes, from the registration of the Activity and Establishment Code (CAE) to the communication of legislative developments.

With a proactive and personalised approach, Nicolás Bonilla states that his goal “is to offer our clients comprehensive, innovative and strategic solutions that not only meet their current needs, but also anticipate and address future challenges in a constantly evolving regulatory environment such as official taxes”.
