• Budgets: The Government today approves the only EU tax increase with half already committed for civil servants and pensioners

  • Increased spending, bonanza, austerity, pandemic ... This is how public spending priorities have changed in the last 15 years

Today the draft bill of the General State Budgets for the year 2021 has been presented, those that should promote economic recovery after the pandemic.

This document includes the announced tax increases such as personal income tax on incomes greater than 200,000 euros or the so-called green taxation, with which the Executive estimates that it will collect 1,311 million.

An increase in spending is also reflected in the salary of civil servants, which rises 0.9%, and in pensions.

All in all, these are the budgets with the largest increase in spending in history, reaching 456,000 million euros.

Social spending will account for 53.7% of the total

The Government will expand the item for the Dependency Law that will reach 2,534 million, that is, 34% more than in 2019. For its part, the Minimum Income will increase by 19.9%.

These increases in spending will have an impact on the Ministry of Social Rights and the 2030 Agenda, which Pablo Iglesias occupies, will have 3,836 million euros, that is, 2,147 more than in the previous Budgets.
