La subida del IVA podría afectar al 60% de la cesta de la compra

Finance study changing the structure of VAT for products now apply reduced charges of 4% and 8% taxed at rates higher. This can have a strong effect on the pockets of taxpayers and that 60% of household consumption is for goods and services that support a reduced VAT rate.
The Consumer Expenditure Survey of the INE shows that 14% of annual expenditure to make a home goes to buy food, pay 20% home ownership ends and another 9.1% in the cash registers of bars and restaurants. All these products do not apply the standard VAT rate of 18%, but super are taxed at 4% or 8% cut. INE figures show that six out of ten euros disbursed a family used to buy goods that are taxed at lower rates. Spain is the EU country where, according to Treasury, super-reduced and reduced taxes has a greater weight in the overall tax base of the main indirect tax.
The Government proposes that certain products are taxed at 4% to 8% do so, and others who apply the 8% is taxed at the standard rate of 18%. With this measure, the Government would fulfill the recommendation of the European Commission, which called on the Executive Mariano Rajoy to expand the tax base of VAT to raise revenue. However, this more expensive commodities, and therefore low incomes would be most affected.
The levy of 4% is applied on fresh food, newspapers and books, school supplies, medicines, housing estates and, until December this year, also free housing. All these products are likely to move to the level of VAT at 8%, however, it seems unlikely that the government raise the tax on basic items like bread, milk, eggs or vegetables.
In the group of assets that apply a VAT rate of 8% are processed food, water, passenger transport (including air tickets), services in restaurants, bars and hotels, movie tickets or contact lenses and eyeglasses, among other products. Thus, Spain has one of the broadest lists of goods and services at reduced rates, a situation that displeases Brussels, whose aim is that all goods are taxed at a standard rate, in Spain, amounting to 18%. Clothing, snuff, fuel, cars or electronic goods are taxed at this rate.
The budget for the 2012 tax benefits that makes the Government envisages that the application of levies 4% and 8% is costing the state coffers of 10,500 million euros. What if, instead of raising the taxation of some products, is completely eliminated and super-reduced rates? As reported in 2011 the Institute for Fiscal Studies, this measure would reduce the general tax rate of 18%. However, warning that it would hurt lower income, the consumption of commodities focuses on applying and qualifying for reduced rates on high incomes who purchase products more intensively taxed at 18%. In short, the Institute for Fiscal Studies concludes that this measure, so beloved in Brussels, "unviable".
Inflation remains at 1.9% in June
Annual inflation stood at 1.9% in June, the same rate recorded in May, the leading indicator of consumer price index (CPI) published yesterday by the National Statistics Institute (INE).
In this record particularly influenced the fall in prices of fuels and lubricants, which was offset by the price behavior of snuff and food.
The INE also published the harmonized CPI leading indicator, which measures changes in prices by the same method in all countries of the euro area, according to which inflation has been in June at 1.8%, a tenth less than the previous month. While inflation is moving at optimal levels for the ECB, a possible increase in VAT would raise prices and harm the purchasing power of lower income.
And falling ...
The VAT is the second most important tax revenue. It is therefore worrying that until May this tax revenues have fallen more than 10%. The executive still confident that the second part of the year is better and the decline will moderate to 3.3%.
