The first vice president of the Government and Minister of Finance, María Jesús Montero, will try this Monday to move forward again with her tax reform at the Finance Commission, where he This is the third time we’ve called him. For the moment, negotiations with the partners have not been interrupted and are continuing, after a weekend during which they did not bear fruit, as LaSexta learned.
The text voted on this Monday in the Finance Committee should in any case be ratified in its entirety on Thursday. In this sense, the sources of Together they influence what happened this Monday “it’s a procedure” and that the real “exam” will take place on Thursday.
Last week, the Congress of Deputies The Commission has been canceled twice. of the Treasury, Monday and Thursday, in which the bill which establishes a minimum tax of 15% for multinationals and large national groups was going to be debated and voted on and in which the PSOE included amendments aimed at eliminating the tax on energy and change bank. At the last minute, the Commission scheduled for Thursday was canceled and postponed to this Monday at 5 p.m.
The PSOE agreed at the end of Octoberremove the special tax on energeticwhich is temporary and expires at the end of the year, and extends the banking.
The executive agrees with the PNV that the Basque provincial domains could manage the first tribute for three years. Togetherfor his part, warned that he would not support the permanence of the tax on energy companies if it harmed an investment of 1.1 billion euros in Tarragona. Basque nationalists then indicated that this tax was “due to factors extraneous” to its creation, since they were ready to accept its continuity if it became an agreed tax in Euskadi and Navarre.
EH Bildu, Esquerra Republicana, Podemos and the minority partner of the Executive, Sumar, were on the other hand inclined to make the tax permanent as it is now conceived. The training of Yolanda Díaz, however, agreed with the PSOE on a tax package by 2025, which includes the maintenance of the bank tax and the introduction of a 21% VAT on tourist apartments, an agreement which involves the removal of the energy tax.
The path taken by Montero to achieve tax reform was to take advantage of the law to make large companies and multinationals pay taxes in Spain at a minimum rate of 15% corporate tax. ERC, Bildu and Podemos They refuse to prevent the extension of the tax on energy companies. Thus, one of the possibilities would be to withdraw the amendments and exclusively maintain the bill which establishes a minimum tax of 15% on multinationals. The PP would vote for of the opinion, since it will only support the rules imposed by the community framework, as is the case with the transposition of the directive on the complementary minimum for companies agreed in Brussels.
ERC also warned that it would vote in favor of a minimum tax of 15% on the profits of multinationals if the PSOE withdraws the amendments to its tax reform. If they are not removed, the ERC will vote against the decision. The lack of agreement is also evident on the side of the PNV, which indicated that the possible vote in favor of the PP of European opinion would be a “poisoned candy” for the government’s partners, who would vote alongside the “popular ” and, in addition, those of Alberto Núñez Feijóo “will give themselves the importance of being ‘the saviors’ and of advancing the reforms of the PSOE”.
