The Treasury acknowledged last week that it was working on a "quick" tax measure to lower the electricity bill.
And so "fast" he wants it to be that the Government is accelerating to approve, in the extraordinary Council of Ministers this Thursday,
a VAT reduction from 21% to 10%
.
Executive sources confirm to EL MUNDO that the measure
wants to be announced together with the end of the use of the mask outdoors
and from the Treasury, with a little more caution, they imply that the intention is that the measure is "fast, effective and efficient."
The decision to approve it already this Thursday responds to a double reason.
On the one hand, cut the price of electricity and "
reduce the price of the bill to consumers
", given that the forecast is that the CO2 futures market will continue at very high levels and, consequently, the price of the megawatt hour be equally high.
But, in addition, the fact of announcing this measure together with the indicated end of the use of masks abroad allows the Government to transfer two news of notable importance among society, and try to
put in the background
the great controversy and discontent unleashed by pardons for Catalan politicians in prison.
