Podemos announced this Thursday an agreement to unblock the tax reform that is being debated this Thursday in Congress. After a negotiation that has lasted almost to the end, a few hours before the vote on the package takes place, Ione Belarra’s party and the Government have agreed to promote a new bill to approve a tax on energy companies. However, this pact includes the requirement that Junts had made to approve the reform: that this agreement include benefits for companies to be able to deduct part of that tax with investments in decarbonization.
“The agreement represents the commitment of the PSOE and Podemos to promote a new bill that contains a tax on energy companies. With this objective, in the coming days a negotiating commission will be established with the participation of all the political parties necessary to approve this reform to achieve the necessary consensus to approve this tax,” Ione Belarra’s party reported in a statement.
“If this consensus is not achieved before December 31, the Government will approve an RDL with the extension of the tax on energy companies until 2025. In any case, this strategy will have to be compatible with not taxing the investments that are committed with decarbonization, in line with the statement published by the Ministry of Finance on Monday, November 18,” explains Podemos.
“The technical complexity of this tax and the need to carry out a rigorous analysis of this tax figure makes it necessary to continue working with the groups for the fair contribution of this sector,” he adds.
