The flight of

youtuber

to Andorra to avoid paying taxes has already become a

reason for confrontation between political parties

and, especially, between Podemos and Vox.

Both formations have shown how they faced their positions defending totally opposite positions, and while the party led by Pablo Iglesias has asked that Andorra be included again in the list of tax havens, that of Santiago Abascal has indicated that

youtuber

are within their rights to make that decision.

Specifically, Unidos Podemos has pointed out that, by including Andorra in the aforementioned list, clauses such as that

the transfer of residence to this country does not imply stop paying personal income tax

in Andorra, at least in the immediate five years.

His spokesman in Congress, Pablo Echenique, recalled that Andorra was considered a tax haven until two years ago, and has defended hardening the criteria of this list to include others such as Bulgaria or Romania, in order that "when someone relocates a home is clear that it does not pay low taxes but pay personal income tax in Spain ".

In addition, he

has criticized this type of transfers as "reprehensible"

, for affecting the financing of public services, but recalled that "this problem already existed before the Internet and YouTube existed", and that "quantitatively the tax fraud is based on mostly in multinationals and longtime billionaires, "reports Europa Press.

"They have every right"

For his part, the Vox spokesman in the Lower House, Iván Espinosa de los Monteros, has said that these people who move to pay less taxes "have every right to do so" and that they are not committing any crime.

"

Admitting that it is for fiscal reasons I do not see a problem,

" he assured, saying that the problem is not understanding that the economy is a game of incentives, also fiscal.

In this sense, he has defended "

a fiscal framework much more favorable to the creation of jobs and wealth

, and a cultural framework much more favorable for those who risk and work", instead of a "fiscal hell" that, his judgment exists in Spain.

For Espinosa de los Monteros, criticism of people who leave the country to pay less shows

"the way of thinking of some politicians" who, in his opinion, "are dinosaurs

.

"

"More than attacking young boys, who are innovating and showing how wealth can be generated in a different way, perhaps it would be better for the dinosaurs to rethink whether we should not have a more friendly fiscal framework," he said.

The government's position

And from the Government, the spokesperson and Minister of Finance, María Jesús Montero, has criticized this Tuesday the transfer of fiscal residence and recalled that it is necessary to be "supportive" and

contribute via taxes so that the welfare state

is a "sign of identity "of Spain, since if everyone decided to transfer their tax residence like them, there would be no" quality "public services.

Montero has said that the Government has "knowledge" that some

influencers

and well-known people in the field of networks, such as

youtubers

, have decided to transfer their tax residence to other countries with a lower tax burden, countries to which they have not wanted to put "labels", although he recalled that Spain is an average of around 7 points less tax pressure than the rest of the European countries.
