Saorín Francisco, coordinator of IU-Greens in Cieza has made an initial assessment of the tax reform announced by the Government of Mariano Rajoy calling it "reform to weaken rich social spending, favors the top earners and is merely electioneering without going the bottom of the problems. "

Through a press release, Saorín explained that "tax reform PP from two misconceptions one hand, the tax contribution is high,. Premise is disassembled by European data made public on 17 June 2014, ensuring that the tax burden in Spain stood at 32.5% of GDP, a really low number, since we are six points and a half below the European average and more than eleven points below the next countries ours, such as Italy or France. Otherwise, that lowering taxes increases consumption, questionable assertion and never proven. "

The coordinator ciezanos ecosocialistas described the electoral reform, "divide in two years to take advantage of as electoral appeal in the two next elections."

An electioneering character is further reinforced with the method used: notice in the Council of Ministers published in the Official Gazette as submitted for public consultation draft, final version in July and parliamentary debate in autumn.

He has also said that "the concept of reform does not respond to the real Spanish fiscal and budgetary needs, with a deficit of 7%, public debt at 100% and the EU's commitment to further cuts."

Overkill with the weakest

Saorín has been particularly belligerent with the attack on the weakest.

"First make a labor reform to lower the firing and now intended to include severance payments exceeding 2,000 euros per year worked, to start paying taxes as income tax from now," he stated, "while taxpayers incomes above 300,000 euros / year your tax go down by 7 points. "

Moreover, he stressed that the corporate income tax lower for large firms from 30% to 25%, but not for small businesses that remain in the 25% and the reduction of the withholding self is irrelevant when it comes of less than 12,000 per year income.

Alternative UI

Saorín insisted that "for the United Left fundamental instrument that will allow a departure from the most favorable to the social crisis is a fair tax reform, the exact opposite of that proposed by PP".

Thus, he explained that "the question is not raised or lowered taxes, but taxes have to resolve social needs and pay more or who has more wins. Therefore be sufficient, progressive and equitable."

The coordinator ciezanos ecosocialistas concluded by recalling that IU has an alternative to defend through its parliamentary group during the pendency of the reform of PP, which is committed to "unite the taxation of income from capital to labor in the same type "that" large companies are taxed at 35% on the first million euros profit "and implement the announced tax on financial transactions;

and limit subsidies and exemptions to large companies generally 3% and 5% when create jobs;

without forgetting the need for a "green tax" applies and recalling, in turn, is essential "combat tax evasion and the black economy", with each year are lost in Spain 80.000 million euros and are an issue that is between the "big absences" of reform of the PP government.
