• Energy crisis The light breaks a new record and forces the Government to promise new tax cuts in 2022

In the Ministry of Finance they are clear about the options in which the Government works to lower the price of the electricity bill: "

The extension of the fiscal measures already adopted and that expired at the end of the month

.

"

That is, it will maintain the VAT reduction from 21% to 10%, and the reduction of the tax on electricity production and the special tax on electricity.

or the

Tobin rate

have fallen far short of the Treasury estimates, showing that they were inflated.

But even so,

tax collection is heading to mark a new historical maximum

at the end of 2021, driven especially by the almost 100,000 million that will reach personal income tax.
