Politics Podemos opens a new battle with the PSOE: it asks for a tax increase of 30,000 million a year
María Jesús Montero did not like at all that, just a few weeks before knowing the conclusions of her group of experts, United We Can have presented a tax proposal that includes a tax increase worth 30,000 million euros.
"
The irruption would qualify it as inopportune
", the Minister of Finance pointed out this Wednesday.
"The logical thing was to wait for the experts' document," continued Montero, who has criticized the Podemos measure on up to two other occasions: "I would have preferred that
the experts' document had been waited for
";
and "
it is not convenient to discuss in parallel
", he stated in statements made to
La 1
.
In this way, Montero has made clear her discomfort with the fact that a part of the Government is carrying out its own fiscal work, thus invading her area and anticipating the conclusions of the group that she created.
The experts must deliver their proposals at the end of this month, and then the Government will give itself "the time it needs to study" the document, Montero explained.
The text, in any case, will be very much in line with what the Treasury and the Government want, not in vain the minister
placed people of her complete trust in key positions
.
In the absence of the complete report being known, measures such as the harmonization of Wealth and Inheritance and Donations taxes
, or the application of environmental taxes that include the rise of the figures
levied on fuels
, have been discussed within the group.
.
As a preliminary measure, the Community of Madrid, which Montero has repeatedly accused of incurring in fiscal dumping by subsidizing taxes, has already tested the
Fiscal Autonomy Law
.
The objective is to try to prevent the Treasury from forcing harmonization, but from the Ministry itself they point out that this measure by the Díaz Ayuso Executive has little scope.
"
The ceded taxes are that, ceded
", they explain in the Treasury, alluding to the fact that the ultimate authority over these figures rests with the State.
The proposal of Podemos
Among the measures that Podemos presented last Monday is the creation of a state tax that taxes empty housing, in order to motivate them to go out on the rental market, deploy a new tax that taxes food of poor nutritional quality, a new framework of green taxation and extend the list of food and non-alcoholic beverages to the super-reduced VAT rate of 4%.
The purple formation recovers its proposal to create a new tax on large fortunes, to replace the current tribute to Heritage, which would focus on fortunes from one million euros, with an exemption for habitual residence of 400,000 euros and that it would not be subsidized by the autonomous communities.
Added to this is a 10% surcharge on the corporate tax rate for electricity companies for a minimum period of five years, with the possibility of extension, and whose collection (about 1,500 million) would be used to lower the electricity bill. consumers, reports Europa Press.
