  • Collection: The battle of 2,500 million VAT: "Treasury snatches money from the Communities"

The Junta de Castilla-La Mancha will also denounce the Government of Pedro Sánchez for the impact of the VAT settlement corresponding to December 2017. The socialist president, Emiliano García-Page, has confirmed today that he will consummate the threat he made a little more than one week, and that he will give authorization to the legal services of the Board to proceed to present the legal remedies "where appropriate" .

On January 23, García-Page gave the Ministry of Finance a deadline that ends tomorrow, February 4, when the meeting of his governing council is scheduled. But today, as EFE reports, it has confirmed that it will go to court and join, therefore, the rebellion of the Popular Party .

"I hope that in the discourse of the legal discussion there may be understanding and hopefully there is with everyone. It would bother me that the VAT will be paid to communities because a deputy asks for it or because the independence leaders want it. It would be a moral blow" he explained García-Page, to which he added that " this has no turning back , regardless of the fact that you can always look for legal tricks to escape responsibilities."

In this way, Castilla-La Mancha, which claims 130 million corresponding to the VAT collection of the last month of 2017, will follow the example of popular communities such as Madrid , Andalusia and Galicia , but also that of socialist regions such as Aragon or the Principality of Asturias All of them are studying the judicial process or, even, they have already filed a complaint, as is the case with Madrid and also with Catalonia .

The Treasury, for its part, has already assured on more than one occasion that it has no intention of paying the 2,500 million required by all communities. In his opinion, the problem was generated by the former Minister of Finance, Cristóbal Montoro, when he made a regulatory change in VAT and caused the regions to receive the settlement of only 11 months in 2017.

"To solve this problem, the Government of Pedro Sánchez articulated through the PGE 2019 a regulatory change in VAT that meant advancing the self-assessment paid in December from 30 to 20, thus generating the opposite effect than in 2017", maintains the department of María Jesús Montero. But when the accounts of that year fell, they add, the payment could not be made. " And what is not possible is to collect a VAT that corresponds to an exercise that has already been liquidity or", they add.
