Nor has it clarified how the number of workers in the Tax Agency of Cataloniawhich should be “multiplied by four”, in his words, to become the only tax body in the community.

The State-Generalitat meeting in which the financing reform will be addressed will be one of the four commissions collected in the Statute which both leaders have agreed to reactivate at the beginning of 2025. These are the Generalitat-State bilateral commission, the mixed transfer commission, the bilateral infrastructure commission and the mixed economic and fiscal affairs commission.
