The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) has urged Spain not to carry out tax increases until the recovery is "firmly underway", so they would only have to be taken into account in the medium term, according to It emerges from its

Going for Growth

report

, published this Wednesday.

The club of countries has valued that a "more effective" tax system could reduce the country's inequality, as well as limit pollution and emissions.

In addition, an increase in revenue "would provide funding for innovation, education and labor market reforms."

"Any tax increase should only be implemented

once the recovery is firmly

underway, and may need to be accompanied by targeted and time-limited compensatory measures for the most vulnerable households," the body chaired by Ángel Gurría has warned.

The OECD has

positively

assessed

the increase in VAT on sugary drinks and the tax on certain digital services

.

Once the recovery is underway, the agency has recommended "expanding the tax base" by reducing the number of exemptions, reductions and deductions in income taxation.

Likewise, the club of countries considers that Spain should "limit" the use of reduced VAT rates in the medium term.

Also that it should tax levies on fuels to "better reflect" its carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, although this measure should include some measure to help the poorest households.

Investment in education

At a general level, much of the recommendations are aimed at investing and reforming education to create quality jobs and take advantage of growth opportunities.

The Paris-based body considers it necessary to improve university training to align it more with the labor market.

In addition, he has urged the Executive that the competitive financing of universities is linked to performance, so that "quality research" is encouraged.

In addition to formal training, the OECD has also recommended that the Government improve the efficiency of active employment policies by

allocating

more

resources to vocational training for the unemployed

.

Another recommendation is to create public job training programs aimed at low-skilled or older workers.

With regard to companies, the country club prescribes eliminating regulations that depend on the size of the company, implementing market unity throughout the country and reducing the number of available contracts.
