MADRID, 24 Abr. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The first vice president and Minister of Finance, María Jesús Montero, has once again ruled out this Wednesday the deflation of personal income tax requested by the PP because she has assured that the most frequent salary in Spain, which in 2021 was 18,502 gross euros, according to data from the INE , you already save an average of 871 euros per year.
It is Montero’s response to a question that the PP Economy Coordinator, Juan Bravo, asked the minister in the Government control session in Congress this Wednesday.
A question that has rather been a request to deflate personal income tax, since Juan Bravo considers that the fiscal model promoted by the Ministry of Finance, with which “taxes have been raised 69 times” and with which 63,000 million have been collected More than in 2019, it has generated a 16% increase in poverty in Spanish society.
“Are you really going to help the Spanish people by deflating personal income tax or do you prefer to continue collecting?” asked the PP deputy.
In the reply, María Jesús Montero has stated that “it is a lie” that taxes have been raised 69 times under the Government of Pedro Sánchez, to then compare the fiscal model of the central Government with those of Madrid and Andalusia, governed by the PP.
Specifically, he pointed out that the most frequent salary in Spain saves an average of 871 euros in personal income tax with the central model, while in Madrid and Andalusia that figure drops to 35 and 25 euros, respectively.
Likewise, he has asserted that the fiscal policy of Isabel Díaz Ayuso and Juanma Moreno allows incomes over 300,000 euros to save on taxes “seven times more” than a working person’s salary in the case of the capital and “three times more” In Andalucia.
“His fiscal policy, fiscal gift for the powerful, weakening and privatization of public services for the middle class,” Montero concluded.
