One of the advantages of the financing model agreed upon between the Spanish government and ERC (Republican Left of Catalonia) is related to management. Specifically, it eliminates advance payments for those autonomous communities that choose to do so. This means they would receive their revenue in real time instead of through advances, with a final settlement made after two years. Currently, the autonomous communities receive 98% of their funds through advances estimated by the central government, and the remainder after two years. In the final settlement, the autonomous communities may either receive more funds or have to return them, depending on whether the estimates were too optimistic or too pessimistic. For 2025, the settlement was based on the 2023 revenue figures.
