Add, Pedro Sánchez’s partner in the Executive, has taken his internal pulse to Congress to Congress prevent the minimum salary from entering the personal income tax, Taxation that has the rejection of the entire left, which would leave the PSOE in the Chamber. The PP and Podemos have registered their own law propositions to knock the proposal of Montero.

The first vice president of the Government and Minister of Finance described as “Fiscal populism” The speech of those who do not share their “left and progressive” proposal. «The SMI is now A decent and not subsistence salary. And that means having rights, but also duties. We cannot give the idea that paying taxes is bad, ”he defended last Friday in Seville in his first appearance after the crisis unleashed between the socialist wing of the Government and his ally to add for this matter.

“A jump error”

In this press conference at the Andalusian PSOE headquarters, María Jesús Montero explained that the loss of collection would not proceed only from what the public coffers would stop entering if, as requesting to add, I exempt from the personal income tax to the perceptors of the SMI, but also for the Update of the minimum exempt to tax not to harm low income. Until now, every time the minimum wage was increased, the Treasury has also raised the minimum exempt taxation to adapt it to the new remuneration reality. That also affected income slightly higher than the minimum reference salary. Otherwise, it would occur “A jump error” that would penalize families with modest income.

The State estimates that it would stop entering about 400 million euros in 2025 in Andalusia – they would be 2,000 million throughout Spain– If this adaptation did not do and renounce the SMI entering the IRPF, as they claim to add, pp and we can, given that 20% of those who charge it live in this autonomous community.

A total of 476,100 Andaluces will benefit from the rise of 50 euros per month In the minimum wage per year in 2025, according to a report by the Ministry of Labor and Social Economy.
