The coalition partners reached an agreement on tax matters this Monday. In it, the PSOE and Sumar agree maintain the banking tax, create a new tax on luxury goods and increase VAT on tourist apartments, although they leave out maintaining the energy taxjust as the socialists had agreed with Junts. In this way, Sumar gives in by dropping the tax on energy companies in exchange for the creation of a tax on luxury goods, such as private jets and yachts or luxury cars, or introducing a 21% VAT on tourist apartments.
However, to carry out these measures they will need the support from the rest of the Government’s parliamentary partnersamong them ERC, Podemos and Bildu, which demand to maintain the tax on energy companies. Precisely, this Monday the Finance Commission was going to be held to decide whether to continue processing the text, after no agreement was reached last week, although it was finally called off an hour before its meeting due to several amendments having been vetoed, which gives more time to the groups to negotiate, among them ERC, which had already informed the PSOE of its vote against the bill, has advanced the republican deputy Pilar Vallugera.
There will be more information.
